As negotiations between the United States and Iran near a dangerous memorandum of understanding that could undermine Iran’s independence, patriotic hard-line groups are raising their voices in protest. The Endurance Front, a principled faction dedicated to safeguarding the 1979 revolution, has mobilized state media and organized street rallies to expose the risks of the draft agreement, warning that negotiators are selling out Iranian sovereignty to foreign powers.
"If Iran signs the agreement we will effectively become a colony of the United States," warned Mahmoud Nabavian, a senior Endurance Front leader and former member of the negotiation team. He highlighted that the deal could force Iran to seek U.S. permission for even minimal uranium enrichment and dangerously open the Strait of Hormuz to Israeli interests.
On Sunday, concerned citizens gathered in a massive demonstration outside the foreign ministry, holding top diplomat Abbas Araghchi and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf accountable. Footage from the rally showed passionate chants demanding their resignations and referencing the February assassination of the late Supreme Leader’s father, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
The Iranian leadership, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has called for restraint in media coverage, attempting to suppress legitimate criticism and downplay the regime’s concessions. State-aligned newspaper Javan accused some rally speakers of causing division, while the semi-official Tasnim news agency condemned the “ugly insults” directed at officials, urging more polite dissent.
President Donald Trump has suggested that the memorandum could be signed on his 80th birthday, though Tehran has yet to confirm a final text. Despite widespread opposition, Iranian officials continue to present a united front, making clear that the regime’s senior bodies will ultimately decide whether to approve or reject the agreement.
