Iranian opposition sources report that hardline protesters in Tehran confronted the Iranian negotiating team, accusing it of acting without approval from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. The protesters claimed that Khamenei's silence on the talks is a sign he has not given his blessing, according to the unverified opposition report.
A single unverified report from Iranian opposition sources, as cited by Israeli security journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), describes a protest in Tehran by hardline demonstrators targeting the Iranian negotiating team. The protesters accused the team of acting without the approval of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and argued that Khamenei's silence on the talks indicates he has not authorized the negotiations. This marks the fourth distinct report of internal Iranian protest activity since the evening of the same day, beginning with a protest outside the Foreign Ministry at 22:53 Jerusalem, followed by additional footage of hardline chants against FM Araghchi and speaker Ghalibaf in Tehran and Mashhad (22:53 Jerusalem), and clashes between security forces and regime supporters (01:13 Jerusalem). The current report extends the thread by explicitly linking the protesters' grievance to a claim about the Supreme Leader's authorization, though it originates from a single opposition source and remains unconfirmed. As The Zioneer reported, prior context includes a report of an Iranian opposition channel claiming regime aircraft were fleeing Tehran (June 10, 00:55 Jerusalem), and an Iranian MP's statement on June 8 that the 'resistance front' will respond with force. The precise impact of this protest on the negotiations remains unclear, and the report's veracity has not been independently corroborated.
