Iranian media shows protests against peace deal with the United States

Small street protests have broken out in Iran after Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a peace deal with the United States could be close, the AFP news agency reports. Images of the protests are being circulated by hardline state media.

A clip shared by the Fars news agency, controlled by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, shows dozens of protesters gathered in front of a foreign ministry building in the city of Mashhad, chanting "Death to the shameful Araghchi, the infiltrator" and waving flags.

AFP has also seen videos on social media showing similar scenes in Tehran. In the videos, protesters shout "Resign, Araghchi" and "Resign, Ghalibaf." However, the news agency notes that it is not possible to verify the authenticity of the posts.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is the speaker of parliament and has played a leading role in contacts with the United States.
