A single-source report from Abu Ali Express, an Israeli channel monitoring Arab-world affairs, describes a viral moment in Iran. A video clip shows Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on stage together. According to the report, Araghchi's pointed look at Ghalibaf during the latter's speech has become a subject of mockery among Iranians, with comments suggesting Ghalibaf 'overdid the theatrics.' The incident highlights the ongoing friction between Iran's diplomatic and parliamentary leadership, which The Zioneer has previously covered in the context of internal criticism of Araghchi's negotiating stance and Ghalibaf's hardline posturing.
