Iran's state broadcaster IRIB (Seda va Sima) said it will file a lawsuit against parliamentarian Mahmoud Nabavian for alleged distortion of classified documents and high‑level correspondence. Nabavian had claimed on live television that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei had explicitly instructed negotiators Qalibaf and Araqchi, but they ignored the order and signed a memorandum of understanding anyway. The broadcast was abruptly cut, and the IRIB director general resigned, taking responsibility for allowing the "unethical" guest.
The lawsuit reflects escalating tensions between Iran's media authorities and lawmakers over commentary on sensitive diplomatic matters.
