Masoud Pezeshkian may remove Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi over stalled talks with the United States, reports said. He is accused of “defying orders” and not keeping the presidency informed. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf also backs the move. Reports claim Araghchi acted on directions from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran has not confirmed the claims. Talks remain stuck as both sides try to turn a fragile ceasefire into a lasting deal. (PC: AFP)
