Additional footage from protests in Iran shows demonstrators chanting "Araghchi, be ashamed and leave the country" and confronting Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf with the slogan "What about the blood of the leader?" — referring to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, according to the posts circulating.
Additional protest footage from Iran shows demonstrators directly confronting two senior regime figures — Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. The chants are notably harsh: protesters call on Araghchi to resign in disgrace, and challenge Ghalibaf over Supreme Leader Khamenei's perceived failure to avenge fallen commanders, echoing the slogan "What about the blood of the leader?"
The protest footage, published by Iranian sources and circulated in Israeli news channels, signals that internal dissent against the diplomatic track managed by Araghchi, and against the parliamentary leadership, continues to simmer. As The Zioneer reported in recent days, Ghalibaf has been a dominant critic of Araghchi's negotiating stance, warning that Iran speaks "other languages far more fluently" — a threat of military escalation. The new imagery places both figures under public pressure from below, not just from hardline rivals. The authenticity and precise date of the footage remain unverified, and the demonstrators' specific demands are unclear beyond the slogans captured on video. The protests appear to be part of the ongoing wave of dissent that has sporadically surfaced since earlier this year.
