The Iranian daily Kayhan, which is closely aligned with the office of the Supreme Leader, published a warning Thursday addressed to some speakers at evening marches in Iran. The newspaper wrote that a minority of passionate speakers, under the guise of revolutionary fervor, are ignoring the Leader's instructions to maintain national unity and spreading division. The warning comes amid internal strife within the pro-regime camp over negotiations with the United States, as the establishment backs talks while conservative factions oppose them, according to the report.
The Kayhan newspaper, a hardline daily whose editorial position reflects the views of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's office, on Thursday published an explicit warning against speakers at regime-aligned evening marches who are deviating from the Leader's directive to preserve national unity. The paper stated that 'a minority of passionate speakers, under the guise of revolutionary fervor, are ignoring the instructions of the Leader of the Revolution to maintain national unity and cohesion and are acting to spread division and schism among the people,' calling on organizing bodies to supervise these speakers.
The warning surfaces amid a deepening internal rift within the pro-regime camp over the ongoing negotiations with the United States. While the regime's leadership has backed the talks, hardline conservative factions have opposed them, labeling the US administration as 'the killer of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.' As The Zioneer has previously reported, this internal tension has been growing for weeks. In recent days, Kayhan's editor Hossein Shariatmadari complained of secrecy surrounding the deal's details, and a senior MP warned that divisive figures were straying from the Leader's line. The current appeal suggests the establishment is seeking to contain dissent before it further fractures the regime's base.
