Hardline protesters in Iran, some wearing burial shrouds, demonstrated against the agreement with the United States, expressing grief over the unavenged assassination of former Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, according to Iranian Telegram channels. A woman in a circulating video is heard saying in anguish: 'You must mourn! For how much did you sell the blood of our master?'
Late Monday night, video footage and reports emerged from Iran showing a fresh protest by hardline regime supporters against the emerging agreement with the United States. According to Iranian Telegram channels, participants—some wearing burial shrouds—expressed fury that the assassination of former Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani remains unavenged, while the deal was signed with his 'murderer.' A woman in a circulating clip is heard weeping and accusing the leadership of selling Soleimani's blood. The protest adds to a growing wave of demonstrations over the past week, as reported by The Zioneer on Sunday: regime supporters previously called for the execution of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and threatened to kill any official who signs a deal. President Pezeshkian has defended the negotiations, citing the authority of the Supreme National Security Council and the Supreme Leader. The new footage suggests that internal opposition to the deal continues to intensify among the regime's own base.
