Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated Thursday evening that the Supreme National Security Council has granted full authorization for the negotiation process, according to Iranian state-aligned media. The statement comes amid ongoing diplomatic talks with the United States and follows days of political debate in Tehran over the emerging agreement text.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Thursday evening that the Supreme National Security Council has given full backing to the current negotiation track, according to Iranian state-aligned media. The remark reinforces the leadership's institutional alignment behind the diplomatic process, which has faced public protests by hardline factions in recent days.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past two days, President Pezeshkian has consistently framed the negotiations as following the authority of the Supreme National Security Council and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Earlier this week, he stated that the decision on war or negotiation rests with the supreme leader, and separately said disputes with Gulf states were nearing resolution.
The statement comes after President Donald Trump announced late Wednesday that an 'excellent settlement' to end the war with Iran had been reached, though no date has been confirmed for a signing ceremony. Trump also said he was informed that Supreme Leader Khamenei's son, Mojtaba Khamenei, agreed to the deal — a claim that has not been confirmed by Iranian officials.
The extent of the supreme leader's personal endorsement of the emerging text and the final details of the framework remain unverified by independent sources.
