Iran-US ceasefire in jeopardy amid domestic political unrest

The ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States is reportedly collapsing, and Iran has officially announced the suspension of its commitments under the deal. Domestic instability in Iran has intensified following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. During his funeral in Tehran last week, protesters targeted President Masoud Pezeshkian with slogans accusing him of being a compromiser. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who negotiated the deal with the Trump administration to secure partial sanctions relief, was forced to leave the ceremony after being pelted with stones by a crowd. Hardline factions within the Iranian regime are now accusing the political leadership of orchestrating a silent coup against the ideals of the 1979 revolution. These factions claim the leadership violated the mandates of the new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not made a public appearance since the events. While CNN reports that hardliners are gaining influence, the situation remains highly volatile as the political divide deepens.
