July 1 - In his first appearance on a Persian-language satellite television channel since the signing of the U.S.–Iran Memorandum of Understanding, Iran’s Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi said the Islamic Republic had suffered major blows since the Feb. 28 start of the war with the U.S. and Israel, and that the people of Iran were continuing their struggle to overthrow the regime.

In a June 27 interview with Iran National Revolution Television (INRTV), he noted that regardless of whether the international community supports the Iranian people, the movement to liberate Iran could not be stopped.

Reza Pahlavi started the 50-minute interview with Tina Ghazimorad discussing recent developments. He said the Islamic Republic was using propaganda to portray itself as victorious, while prompting a sense of despair in the population by claiming that the West — led by the U.S. — had backed down.

In reality, he said, it is the regime that has retreated — turning against its own people through repression, imprisonment, and killings.

“The regime brings in proxy forces from outside the country to suppress the people,” he said, a practice which he said demonstrated that it no longer trusts even its own security forces.

Referring to growing divisions within the government, the military, and the security apparatus, Reza Pahlavi compared the current state of the Islamic Republic to that of the Soviet Union before its collapse.

Drawing on past experience, which he said showed that agreements with the Iranian regime repeatedly failed to yield meaningful results, Reza Pahlavi argued that people should not be overly concerned about the current negotiations or any possible agreements between the Islamic Republic and the U.S.

He rejected the notion that “negotiations have taken place, the matter is settled, the regime will remain in power, and our sacrifices were in vain.” Instead, he maintained that the regime was becoming increasingly deadlocked.

July 1 - A group of prominent experts on Iran, including the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Shirin Ebadi, issued a public letter to George Washington University last week urging an investigation of Dr. Sina Azodi, an Assistant Professor of Middle East Politics and Director of the Middle East Studies MA Program at GWU’s Elliott School of International Affairs. Azodi recently published a book titled “Iran and the Bomb: The United States, Iran, and the Nuclear Question.”

The US-based Alliance Against the Islamic Regime of Iran Apologists (AAIRIA) — a group of former political prisoners, relatives of executed political prisoners, and human rights activists — obtained the letter exclusively and published it on their website. The letter questions Azodi’s suitability as an academic at the university.

The letter addressed to the GWU administration was signed by:

-Dr. Shirin Ebadi, Iranian Nobel laureate, lawyer, writer, teacher, and a former judge and founder of the Defenders of Human Rights Center in Iran;

-Dr. Houchang Hassan-Yari, Professor of Military and Strategic Issues & Middle East, Kingston, Ontario, Canada;

-Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert, British-Australian political scientist and former hostage of the Islamic Republic of Iran; and

– Dr. Farhad Keyan, Physicist and President of Netservia LLC.

According to the letter, Azodi defends the Islamic Republic’s repression of civilians. In a 2019 BBC Persian interview, Azodi said it was “the right of governments to use coercive force against their citizens, whether in the United States of America or in Iran.”

LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) – One stage of the Iran war has ended, but the world may be mistaking a pre-election pause for lasting peace. Tehran’s economic leverage will likely remain strong through the U.S. midterm elections in November, but could weaken once the votes are counted, raising the risk of renewed confrontation afterward.

In this dangerous new environment, how might the rest of the world position itself to avoid becoming collateral damage once again?

Whether the 60-day talks between the U.S. and Iran will produce a durable settlement remains unclear – especially given the tit-for-tat attacks over the weekend.

But what’s most important for markets is that the interim agreement has restored energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz, the critical energy chokepoint that was effectively closed during the conflict. This has sent crude prices tumbling back near pre-war levels.

The clock is ticking, however.

DOHA/DUBAI, June 30 (Reuters) – Iran said on Tuesday it would not meet with top U.S. envoys who flew to the region following an outbreak of hostilities, clouding the prospects for a lasting peace between the two countries.

Iranian officials also said the two sides must still sort out the terms of a ceasefire they signed two weeks ago before they could tackle more difficult topics, such as possible limits to its nuclear program.

The developments indicated the two sides are far apart on key pillars of the initial framework, which calls for Iran to lift its chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for financial incentives, and sets up 60 days of negotiations to work out a permanent peace deal.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Doha for what the White House described as “high level” talks, but Iran and host Qatar said they would meet with mediators, rather than the Iranians themselves.

Qatar said Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani was among those to meet with Witkoff and Kushner.

“No meeting at any level with the American side has been scheduled for the coming days,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said.

The two countries were due to commence lower-level technical talks, according to Majed al-Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s foreign ministry.

DUBAI/WASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) – Iranian and U.S. negotiating teams were due in Doha this week, but Iran said no meeting had been scheduled as weekend missile fire from both sides tested the interim ceasefire to end the four-month-old war.

U.S. President Donald Trump is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Witkoff to lead the negotiating team, according to his press secretary Karoline Leavitt. And Iran is sending its technical delegation to Qatar this week, but Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said this had “no relation” to the Americans’ visit and no talks between the two sides were scheduled.

“We will not have any negotiation meetings at any level with the American side in the coming days,” Baghaei said.

The disagreement over whether the sides would even meet underscored the fragility of a June 17 accord that paused a conflict that has disrupted global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and created a political headache for Trump ahead of November’s congressional elections.

The U.S. and Iran gave themselves at least 60 days to implement the 14-point memorandum of understanding to extend an April ceasefire, discuss Iran‘s nuclear energy and research programs and stockpile of highly enriched uranium that Trump had wanted to remove, and negotiate a permanent truce. But progress has been halting, with each side accusing the other of violating agreed terms.
