Golden Finance reports that on the 4th, according to The New York Times, officials familiar with the details of the meeting said that during the final stage of the negotiations, when Iran’s supreme leader Mujtaba Khamenei hesitated to approve a preliminary ceasefire agreement, President Pezeshkian of Iran visited him. The Iranian president told the supreme leader that the economic situation was dire and that the U.S. maritime blockade was strangling Iran; if he refused the agreement, he would resign. Also, Iran’s central bank governor Abdulnaser Hemati wrote to Khamenei, saying that the country faced a serious budget crisis and that if the maritime blockade continued, critical food and medical supplies would run out by the end of August. In his letter, Hemati explained that Iran could not sell oil at the required scale and could not find alternative trade routes. These statements played a key role in Mujtaba’s final decision to support the agreement. In a brief public statement, he said that although he opposed the agreement “in principle,” he instructed the president to proceed if the president obtained the support of the Supreme National Security Council. Pezeshkian said the council passed the agreement with 12 votes in favor out of 13. (Jin Ten)
