Iran’s Strategic Deputy of the President, Ali Bagheri Khamenei, has ordered that nightly pro‑Islamic Republic rallies be halted after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s burial ceremony in July, saying they threaten national cohesion. The deputy warned that the gatherings could disrupt diplomatic negotiations and become a lever to pressure the government and negotiators, creating obstacles to strategic decisions at critical moments.
— 🇮🇷 NEW: The Strategic Deputy of President Pezeshkian has issued an order that nightly pro-Islamic Republic rallies should end after Ayatollah Khamenei’s burial ceremony in July because they ‘threaten national cohesion’ The reason? Very predictable. They know Iranian population is against the current negotiations! In the statement of the Strategic Deputy, it explicitly says: ‘The gatherings could change the field dynamics towards creating blockages in the path of diplomacy’, and ‘some of these gatherings have turned into a lever to put pressure on the official structure (i.e. the government and negotiators)…posting a serious obstacle to making strategic and expedient decisions at critical moments’ @Middle_East_Spectator
