Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the late Supreme Leader, said in an interview with the Iranian semi-official Fars News Agency that negotiating on the nuclear issue is contrary to all ideology and will not prevent an attack on Iran's infrastructure, according to media reports. His remarks amplify hardline opposition to any diplomatic track on the nuclear file.
In an interview with Fars News, Mojtaba Khamenei — the son of late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and a figure with growing political and ideological influence within the Iranian establishment — expressed categorical rejection of any negotiation on the nuclear issue. He described such talks as fundamentally opposed to revolutionary ideology and argued that they would not prevent an attack on Iran's infrastructure. His remarks come amid a series of hardline statements by Iranian officials, including Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei and state TV hosts, dismissing diplomatic tracks on the nuclear and missile files as the US-Iran memorandum of understanding reportedly approaches a potential signing moment. Khamenei Jr. also stated that the negotiations would yield no benefit 'in this world or the next.' The interview heightens scrutiny of the regime's internal divisions over the diplomatic route, as The Zioneer has previously covered multiple instances of senior Iranian figures publicly rejecting nuclear negotiations and missile-program discussion.
