Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Tuesday thatnegotiations with the United States have faced domestic criticism despiteachieving results beyond expectations, while accusing Washington of failing tohonor its commitments.
Speaking to reporters, Pezeshkian noted that “some internalcriticism had downplayed the achievements of the talks,” maintaining that thenegotiations had exceeded expectations.
“The memorandum of understanding focused on reopening the Straitof Hormuz to oil exports, but the US side had not implemented the agreed terms.”
Addressing domestic affairs, Pezeshkian said Iran's"enemy" had waged a comprehensive campaign intended to createinternal pressure and trigger social collapse, clarifying that “national unityand public cohesion had prevented those efforts from succeeding.”
The Iranian president added that the failure to achievemilitary objectives had prompted the opposing side to return to dialogue.
Pezeshkian cited Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei stressingduring their meetings the need to end the current state of "neither war norpeace." He also revealed that his consultations with Khamenei hadincreased in recent months and that decisions were made in line with theSupreme Leader's guidance.
Meanwhile, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday thatofficials in US President Donald Trump's administration are pushing to revivediscussions on pursuing "regime change" in Iran after diplomaticefforts to contain tensions stalled.
According to the newspaper, the proposal includesencouraging an internal uprising in Iran and reconsidering a previous Israeliproposal to arm Kurdish opposition groups hostile to Tehran. The report saidsome officials in the administration believe current political and economicpressure has failed to achieve its objectives.
Tehran has become the central challenge in US foreign policyas the confrontation between Iran and Israel continues and Washington has yetto formulate a strategy capable of achieving its main goals, includingreopening the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping without transit feesand imposing restrictions on Iran's nuclear program, according to the outlet.
The report also added that those objectives face significantobstacles as Tehran insists on charging fees for vessels passing through theStrait of Hormuz, a move it says would provide additional revenue andstrengthen its influence over global energy shipments.
Citing US officials, the newspaper said military optionsremain limited because airstrikes have not achieved their intended objectivesand there is no political support for deploying ground forces. Retired USGeneral Barry McCaffrey estimated that any ground operation to seize control ofthe Strait of Hormuz could require about 600,000 troops and last for a year.
The report also highlighted that continued Russian andChinese support could provide Iran with more advanced missile and dronecapabilities in the coming years, increasing potential threats to strategictargets, including Israel's Dimona nuclear facility and the US military base atDiego Garcia.
