Iranian society divided as hardliners protest IAEA deal while Parliament - IRGC endorses it

Tehran, Sep 16 (UNI) Iranian hardline elements have protested against the country's recently reached agreement with the IAEA in Cairo, despite its blessing by a top decision-making body linked to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The agreement, brokered by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, seeks to resolve a months-long standoff with the UN watchdog after Tehran barred inspectors following surprise U.S. and Israeli strikes on nuclear sites in June.
