In a newly reported account of events from July, Iranian hard-liners deliberately sabotaged a U.S.-Iran peace agreement by orchestrating a clandestine attack on three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the New York Times reports, citing Iranian officials, IRGC members and former officials. President Masoud Pezeshkian and much of Iran’s senior leadership were reportedly unaware of the operation in advance. After learning of the attack, Pezeshkian angrily confronted IRGC commander Gen. Ahmad Vahidi, who said he had neither authorized nor known about it. Iranian government and security inquiries later traced the decision to a hard-line faction linked to influential cleric and former IRGC intelligence chief Hossein Taeb, who had opposed the peace deal from the outset, according to the report. The NYT says the dispute exposed a deeper power struggle between officials favoring renewed negotiations with Washington and hard-line commanders pushing for escalation, including attacks on U.S. naval forces and regional oil infrastructure. The hard-line faction has since gained the upper hand.
