Further signs of turmoil are emerging in Iran\u2019s U.S. negotiating team as hardliner Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf looks set to be replaced by a veteran conservative known for rejecting nuclear concessions, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Iran International <\/a>reported April 24 that Saeed Jalili, 60 \u2014 who already leads what has been described as a “shadow government” \u2014 is expected to succeed Ghalibaf following his sudden departure amid internal disputes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jalili also heads Iran\u2019s ultra-hardline faction known as the Stability Front (Paydari), which is known to be a “bastion of ultraconservatism in Iran,” according to reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ali Safavi<\/a>, an official with the Iranian opposition coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), told Fox News Digital that Jalili “has evolved from a nuclear negotiator to an influential actor within the regime.”<\/p>\n

Ghalibaf was reportedly forced to step down after attempting to bring the nuclear issue into talks<\/a> with Washington, a move that triggered backlash within Iran\u2019s political establishment.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump had called off plans for U.S. envoys to travel to Pakistan for peace talks with Iran on April 25.<\/p>\n

The rivalry between Jalili and Ghalibaf is said to span more than a decade and intensified during the 2024 elections<\/a>, when Jalili refused to step aside, contributing to the victory of President Masoud Pezeshkian.<\/p>\n

Safavi said, “The increased visibility of latent divisions stems from recurring nationwide uprisings, deep economic crises and the pressures of war, all of which have intensified internal feuding.<\/p>\n

“Far from signaling transformation, these developments reflect accelerating erosion and mounting pressure, deepening fractures and leaving<\/a> the regime ever weaker and more vulnerable,” he added.<\/p>\n

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also seeking a continued leading role in negotiations, highlighting competing centers of influence<\/a> over Iran\u2019s diplomatic strategy, sources said.<\/p>\n

Araghchi is in Islamabad, Pakistan, after returning from a short trip to Muscat, Oman, where he is holding high-level diplomatic talks on the conflict. Reports indicate Araghchi will travel to Moscow.<\/p>\n

Jalili\u2019s potential appointment, however, signals a hardening of Iran\u2019s stance, with more emphasis on resistance over compromise.<\/p>\n

“Within this regime, there are a number of constants espoused by all factions,” Safavi said before highlighting that these were “repression, the export of terrorism<\/a> and the pursuit of nuclear weapons.”<\/p>\n

“The factions all ultimately move along a common path: the preservation of power<\/a>. They differ in methods, not in objectives,” Safavi cautioned.<\/p>\n

Jalili, meanwhile, served as Iran\u2019s top nuclear negotiator from 2007 to 2013 under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and later ran for president three times. He also served as secretary of the Supreme National Security Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)<\/a>, Jalili lost his right leg at 21 during the Iran-Iraq War, earning him the title of “Living Martyr”.<\/p>\n

The Paydari Front, which he is associated with, opposes engagement with the West \u2014 particularly the 2015 nuclear deal \u2014 and advocates a doctrine of “active resistance.”<\/a><\/p>\n

During Hassan Rouhani\u2019s presidency, Jalili also established a “shadow government” to counter the administration\u2019s policies, especially the nuclear deal.<\/p>\n

On April 7, he wrote on X: “Yes \u2014 \u2018infrastructure\u2019 is on the verge of collapse; the infrastructure of domination and the American order. And after that, a better foundation will be built.”<\/p>\n

A day earlier, he posted: “\u2018Shut up\u2019 is not the appropriate response to Trump\u2019s ramblings; let him speak more. Nothing is more effective in laying bare the true nature of the United States than Trump\u2019s outbursts.”<\/p>\n

“In dealing with this regime,” Safavi said, “we must bear in mind that in the 45 years since the mullahs consolidated their rule<\/a> in 1981 by crushing all peaceful political life, so-called reformists have governed for nearly half that time \u2014 presiding over some of its darkest crimes.”<\/p>\n

“These include the 1988 massacre of 30,000 political prisoners<\/a>, the assassination of dissidents abroad, the chain murders of intellectuals inside Iran and the relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
