Shockwaves are rippling through Iran’s political elite as nationwide protests unsettle the Islamic Republic. Reports suggest former president Hassan Rouhani and former foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif may be facing punishment from the system they once served, with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei at the center of the fallout linked to the 2015 nuclear deal.

Claims of house arrest remain unconfirmed, but the rumors alone reflect a sharply hardened climate. Hardliners increasingly blame Rouhani and Zarif for engaging the West, arguing the deal weakened security, stalled nuclear progress, and left Iran exposed after the 2018 U.S. withdrawal.
