Iran’s Clerical Leaders Face Existential Crisis Amid Nuclear Deadlock
Iran is confronting mounting unrest and severe economic challenges following the snapback of United Nations sanctions. The situation is further complicated by growing fears of potential Israeli strikes and stalled nuclear negotiations with Western powers.
In Tehran, Iranian clerics were seen passing in front of an anti-US mural during the 45th anniversary of the US expulsion from Iran, on November 3, 2024. This moment serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions between Iran and the West.
The deadlock in nuclear talks and renewed sanctions have intensified pressure on the country’s leadership, raising concerns about the stability and future of the clerical establishment in Iran.
