How Iran’s Hard-Liners Blew Up a Peace Deal With Trump

Officials said the attack by a fringe hard-line faction derailed a peace deal with Washington and triggered some of Iran’s most volatile internal confrontations.

  • In July, an Iranian hardline faction launched unauthorized attacks on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, aiming to sabotage a peace agreement between Iran and the United States.
  • Government inquiries traced these strikes to influential spymaster Hossein Taeb, who opposed the United States peace deal and was recently appointed head of the Basij militia.
  • Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confronted Revolutionary Guard commander General Ahmad Vahidi, calling the actions 'reckless' and demanding proof of authorization from five Iranian officials and two Guards members.
  • The new Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, has remained a phantom figure since taking office in March, leaving no authority to resolve the internal dispute.
  • These clandestine efforts ultimately derailed a push by moderate pragmatists to repair Iran's ailing economy, leaving the country in a state of volatile political confrontation within its leadership.
