Ultra-radical Iranian hardliners, notably associated with the Paydari Front andfigures like Saeed Jalili, are actively trying to derail 2026 US-Iran talks by accusing officials of betrayal, staging street rallies, and leaking details of potential deals. Driven by deep religious conviction, they argue negotiations with the US are destructive and have successfully pressured parliamentarians to refuse to sign endorsement statements for the negotiation team.

Key details about this hardline faction include:
- Key Leadership & Influence: The group is linked to Saeed Jalili, who finished second in the 2021 election and commands a significant following, and his brother Vahid Jalili, a top official at the state broadcaster IRIB. Their spiritual influence includes figures like Ayatollah Mahdi Mirbaqiri, who calls for intensified confrontation with the West.
- Tactics: They use nightly street rallies to inflame public opinion against the government’s negotiators and amplify concerns about the negotiations.
- “Super Revolutionaries”: This faction, often called “super revolutionaries,” has forced a deep rift in Iran’s hardline camp by labeling Iranian officials who engage with the US as cowardly.
- Opposition to Compromise: They reject compromises regarding Iran’s nuclear enrichment and oppose deals that would give up leverage in key areas like the Strait of Hormuz.
- “Sanctions Profiteers”: Other actors opposing the talks are described as “sanctions profiteers,” individuals whose political relevance and economic survival depend on the continuation of the crisis. [1, 2, 3, 4]
These efforts come as the 2025-2026 talks face a deadlock with President Trump’s administration, which is enforcing a “maximum pressure” strategy and a blockade on Iranian ports following the rise of tensions and regional conflicts. [1, 2]
