Top Iranian Officials Give Their Supreme Leader an Intervention, tell Him to Negotiate with U.S.
As the United States and Iran prepare for what could be a decisive round of nuclear negotiations, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), is available for timely and expert commentary. Jafarzadeh brings decades of insight into the inner workings of the Iranian regime and was among the first to expose Iran’s secret nuclear facilities. His perspective is urgently relevant as the Ayatollah faces pressure not only from abroad—but now from within his own ranks.
Sources inside Iran indicate that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been the subject of a rare and serious internal intervention from high-level subordinates, warning that if he doesn’t accept a diplomatic off-ramp, the regime could face something far worse: an uprising from the Iranian people. The Iranian Street is already boiling with discontent—decades of repression, economic ruin, and corruption have pushed the population to a breaking point.
This negotiation window may be the regime’s last chance to maintain power—but will the Ayatollah play games, as he has in the past? Jafarzadeh warns that Tehran has a long history of using talks to stall for time while continuing its nuclear ambitions in secret. The question now is whether the U.S. and Israel will be able to recognize the signs of deception—and respond with resolve.
If the regime collapses under its own weight or through a public uprising, who will fill the vacuum? The NCRI, with its organized structure, democratic principles, and proven leadership, stands ready to offer a viable, secular alternative. Jafarzadeh can speak to the readiness of the Iranian opposition and the stakes of these talks—not only for regional security but for Iran’s future.
