Summary
State TV abruptly cut off a hardline Iranian lawmaker after he read what he said were top-secret letters from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei opposing talks with the United States.
The broadcast sparked a backlash because the excerpts appeared to disclose confidential communications and publicly challenge the handling of Iran's US diplomacy.
The interruption turned the disclosure itself into the main event, underscoring the sensitivity of internal divisions over whether Tehran should engage Washington.
