Iran's president is facing mounting political pressure at home following a recent agreement with the United States, according to reports from Swedish media outlet Dagens Industri.
The deal has sparked significant unrest within Iran's political establishment, with hardline factions demanding that negotiators not relinquish full control over the Strait of Hormuz.
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, handling roughly a fifth of the world's oil consumption.
Any perceived weakening of Iran's leverage over the waterway could trigger domestic backlash, potentially destabilizing the government's ability to maintain the status quo on shipping access.
This development comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. U.S. President Donald Trump has recently intensified warnings against Iran, signaling a potential increase in military action if a comprehensive peace deal is not reached.
Trump previously rejected Iran's latest peace plan offer, citing insufficient concessions.
