Death to Araghchi, dishonourable compromiser’: Why Iranians turned against their foreign minister
June 14, 2026
  1. Protests were reported outside the Foreign Ministry’s representative office in Mashhad against Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Demonstrators raised slogans including “Death to Araghchi,” accusing him of being a “dishonorable compromiser” and an “infiltrator” over his role in ongoing negotiations with the United States.

 

The protesters alleged that Araghchi and the Iranian negotiating team had conceded too much in discussions with Washington, claiming that the proposed agreement does not adequately safeguard Iran’s national interests. They further argued that the terms of the emerging deal reflect excessive concessions made to secure a peace settlement
