Questions are mounting over whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is directly involved in Tehran’s ongoing negotiations with the United States, according to a report by Iran International, which cited a source close to the talks.
The report said doubts have emerged over whether parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Iran’s negotiating team are fully coordinated with Khamenei as discussions continue with the administration of US President Donald Trump. The source claimed there were “serious ambiguities” surrounding how much Khamenei knows about the negotiations and the extent of understanding between Tehran’s representatives and Washington.
