The ultra-hardline faction Jebhe-ye Paydari has escalated its campaign against Iran's negotiations with the United States regarding the nuclear program. This group, described as 'Super Revolutionaries,' believes that Iran should only secure a deal by defeating Washington. Their rise in visibility follows the death of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and they have intensified their opposition through media campaigns, public speeches, and large rallies in Tehran. Hamidreza Azizi from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs noted that the faction views resistance against the US and Israel as a perpetual struggle, rooted in a radical Shia ideology. They have openly criticized Iran's chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, labeling him and his team as 'cowardly' and accusing them of collusion. The group's influence extends into politics and state media, with prominent figures like former national security chief Saeed Jalili, who received significant electoral support in the 2021 presidential elections. Their aggressive stance has sparked criticism from rival conservative factions and segments of the public, highlighting the growing political divisions within Iran over domestic policies and relations with the West.
