Assembly of Experts Members Publicly Oppose Iran MOU in Unprecedented Move

What was said

"Everybody, I think everyone was surprised that that statement came out. And then after that, Pezeshkian, the president, went to Qom and met with all the grand ayatollahs there, and to make sure that they are on board with the MOU. And the grand ayatollahs all said that, no, we support the government, and they distanced themselves from that statement that came out of the Assembly of Experts."

Sixty-two members of Iran's Assembly of Experts issued an unprecedented statement expressing dissatisfaction with the MOU agreement, prompting President Pezeshkian to make an emergency trip to Qom to secure support from grand ayatollahs. The ayatollahs publicly backed the government and distanced themselves from the Assembly's statement, revealing significant internal divisions within Iran's clerical establishment.
