Dozens of hardline protesters gathered outside the Foreign Ministry office in Mashhad, Iran, waving black and red flags while chanting slogans against top diplomat Abbas Araghchi. The protests were triggered by advanced negotiations for a U.S.-Iran diplomatic agreement intended to end the ongoing Middle East conflict and fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz, an accord that hardliners view as an excessive concession to the West.
