Mujtaba Khamenei's invisibility due to security risks intensifies Iran's internal differences in negotiations with the United States

Iran's newly appointed Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei has not made a public appearance due to security risks. Currently, he hardly uses electronic devices and only communicates with the outside world through face-to-face contact or messengers. The internal division in Iran over whether to continue negotiations with the United States has intensified. Pragmatists advocate for easing sanctions through negotiations, while hardliners oppose compromise with the United States. Mujtaba Hamenei has authorized the government to push forward with a preliminary agreement with the United States, a decision that has sparked internal controversy among conservatives.
