Iran’s Supreme Leader Breaks Silence: Why the Shocking U.S. Nuclear Deal Was Approved

Tehran, Friday, 19 June 2026.
In a rare admission, Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei confirmed he authorized a landmark nuclear deal with the U.S. on June 19, 2026—despite personally opposing it. The revelation, framed as a strategic move to ease crippling sanctions and economic pressure, marks a dramatic shift in Tehran’s foreign policy. Khamenei’s approval came only after Iran’s president pledged to protect national interests and resist U.S. ‘excessive demands.’ The deal, already triggering global oil market ripples, could reshape Middle Eastern stability—but with hardliners protesting and Israel rejecting key terms, its future remains uncertain.
