Unverified reports suggest Iran’s Mojtaba Khamenei has not endorsed the proposed US deal, casting doubt on its viability.
Unconfirmed reports indicate Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not approved the proposed US-Iran deal, despite commitments from Iranian officials. Conservative media outlets and unnamed sources claim Speaker Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Araghchi moved forward without Khamenei’s blessing, raising questions about the deal’s legitimacy.
Markets rallied sharply on Thursday following initial de-escalation news, but the lack of high-level Iranian sign-off may temper optimism. Previous announcements by US officials about Iran deals have failed to materialize, adding to skepticism. The reports remain unverified, with no official confirmation from Tehran.
The uncertainty underscores ongoing risks in Iran’s negotiating stance, potentially delaying or derailing the agreement. Traders may adopt a cautious approach until clarity emerges from Iranian leadership.
