    Araghchi is one of the reformists who still want to pursue diplomacy and has suffered a large reputation hit in Iran as a result, many still continue to call him a traitor and there was a recent piece of legislation that was all but in name directed towards him, Pezekhian, and the rest of the reformist camp preventing them from leaking information to western media thus playing into Trump’s market manipulation and undermining their strategy of economic attrition.

        Oh hell yeah just remember if the administration wasnt utterly intellectually incompetent they would play into the divide between the reformists and the hardliners and instead of backing the son of the Shah start playing ball w/ the reformists. One way of getting the public to rally behind this would be covertly playing up the “celebrity” status Aragchi is attaining in the West from these interviews.
