Iran’s top leadership is reportedly seeking the removal of Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi over his alignment with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) chief stance in nuclear talks with the United States.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf believe that Aragchi has acted more as an aide to Guard Corps’ Commander-in-Chief, Ahmad Vahidi, than as a cabinet minister, Iran International reported.
This comes a week after Ghalibaf, a former IRGC commander, was removed from the peace talks owing to pressure from the Guard Corps (IRGC), which accused him of attempting to expand discussions to include nuclear-related issues.
Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in Islamabad during the first round of talks with the US.
