NGIran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, stated that he approved a U.S.-Iran deal to end the Middle East conflict despite having initial reservations. He emphasized that his approval was based on assurances from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian regarding the protection of Iran's national interests and the Resistance Front. Khamenei mentioned that former U.S. President Donald Trump used various tactics to secure the agreement out of 'desperation.' This statement marks Khamenei's first public response to the deal.
Bias read (Center): The article presents Khamenei's statement neutrally, quoting him directly and providing context about the deal and his reservations. There is no overtly biased language, and the framing appears balanced, focusing on Khamenei's explanation rather than taking a stance on the deal itself.
