Supporters of the Iranian regime demonstrated again on Saturday evening against the emerging agreement with the United States, and called for the execution of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to the Abu Ali Express channel.
At 20:01 Jerusalem on Saturday, The Zioneer reported that hardline regime supporters demonstrating against the emerging US-Iran deal escalated their rhetoric, explicitly calling for the execution of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to the Abu Ali Express channel. This marks the most extreme demand yet in a protest wave that has progressed throughout the evening.
The desk's thread tracked the protests escalating from 20:01 Jerusalem: earlier reports described protesters calling for Araghchi and Speaker Ghalibaf to resign; then videos showed a protester hurling personal curses at Araghchi; demonstrators chanted calling him 'dishonorable' and 'planted'; and a mass rally gathered outside the Foreign Ministry. The earlier reports came from multiple Iranian reports, with opposition sources noting that regime forces were suppressing regime supporters, though the scale remained unverified by independent sources. By 20:01, the Abu Ali Express channel was the single source for the new execution call.
As The Zioneer reported earlier on Saturday, IRGC-aligned protesters had previously threatened death to anyone who signs a deal, and the IRGC's Fars news agency had publicly attacked Araghchi over his response to President Trump. A lawmaker close to the regime also criticized the emerging agreement. The protests reflect deepening internal pressure on Iran's leadership as negotiations with Washington progress, as the desk noted.
The specific call for execution reported by Abu Ali Express remains from a single source and has not been corroborated by other outlets or confirmed by independent accounts. It is also unclear how representative this demand is among the protesters or whether the security forces responded to this particular rally.
