There is huge discord in Iran, should we make peace with Trump or war? An atmosphere like civil war broke out between the fundamentalists and the government amid peace talks.
News India Live, Digital Desk: Amidst the ongoing historic peace talks with America in Islamabad, a big volcano has erupted inside Iran. According to reports, there is currently a huge tussle in the corridors of power in Tehran. On one side is the ‘moderate’ team of President Massoud Pejeshkian and Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi who want to join hands with Donald Trump to avoid sanctions, while on the other side are the hardline leaders of the powerful ‘Revolutionary Guards’ (IRGC) who are calling these talks as ‘kneeling’. This discord within Iran has cast clouds of uncertainty over the hopes of peace. IRGC’s tough stance: ‘We will not bow down, but will fight’ The table for negotiations is set in Islamabad, but in Tehran the top IRGC commanders have adopted a tough stance. Fundamentalists believe that succumbing to Donald Trump’s ‘maximum pressure’ strategy is an insult to Iran’s sovereignty. According to sources, the IRGC has warned that if any agreement is reached on Iran’s missile program or nuclear power during the talks, they may refuse to accept it. This internal rebellion is taking place at a time when America has increased the deployment of its deadly aircraft and warships in West Asia. Trump’s deadline increases heartbeats, will Iran break? US President Donald Trump has given an ultimatum to Iran in his familiar style. Trump’s team (JD Vance and Jared Kushner) have made it clear that if the Islamabad talks fail, Iran will have to face ‘economic and military consequences’ that it has never seen before. This fear has forced the Iranian government to come to the negotiating table. Experts say that Iran is currently stuck between two sides – on one side is Trump’s strictness and on the other side is the rebellion of fundamentalists in its own country. Pressure from the public, distressed by the cooking gas and oil crisis, is a major reason for this turmoil within Iran, and its crumbling economy is also there. Due to international sanctions, the people of Iran are in dire straits and the energy crisis is deepening there. The Pejeshkian government knows that if a compromise is not reached now, a popular uprising could erupt in the country. Although the tacit support of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei is currently with the negotiators, pressure from fundamentalists can spoil the game at any time. The eyes of the world are now on the closed room in Islamabad where the future of both the countries is being decided.
