Legal proceedings were launched after Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian disclosed alleged private letters showing Mojtaba Khamenei opposed any US memorandum that failed to recognize Iran’s uranium-enrichment rights.
Three letters dated April 5, April 19 and May 24 allegedly said nuclear talks could not proceed before a US concession on enrichment, while also demanding sanctions relief, frozen-asset releases, compensation and full Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.
IRIB cut off the live interview, accepted the resignation of the relevant network director general and said Nabavian had violated the law by publishing incomplete state documents.
Nabavian later defended the disclosure on X as reflecting the Leader’s view, but other Iranian figures accused him of breaching confidentiality and disrupting civil order; the deleted interview remained available via IRGC-linked Fars.
The episode offered a rare public look at splits inside Iran’s negotiating camp, with critics saying the system appeared to be arguing internally over red lines even as it negotiated with Washington.
