The CEO of Iran's state broadcasting news division resigned Saturday evening, hours after a conservative parliament member accidentally revealed classified supreme leader directives for the Iranian negotiating team during a live interview, according to Iranian media. The broadcast was cut short; the news chief stepped down later the same evening.
Iran's state broadcaster IRIB is in crisis mode after a conservative MP accidentally revealed classified directives from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei to the Iranian negotiating team during a live television interview Saturday evening, according to Iranian media reports. The broadcast was abruptly cut off, and hours later IRIB's news director announced his resignation. The incident is the latest in a series of internal leaks and public controversies surrounding the opaque US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) talks. As The Zioneer has reported over the past two weeks, multiple Iranian officials, parliament members, and conservative media figures have complained about the secrecy surrounding the deal's terms. The live disclosure of supreme leader-level guidance now threatens to further erode domestic confidence in the negotiation process and raises questions about information security inside the Iranian establishment.
