- On Thursday, Supreme Leader Khamenei authorized the deal, stressing that negotiators accepted responsibility for the pact in an apparent effort to distance himself from potential fallout if the agreement unravels.
- Warning the agreement could turn the Islamic Republic into a "colony of the United States," National Security Commission vice chairman Mahmoud Nabavian claimed it would open the Strait of Hormuz to Israel.
- Vali Nasr, author of "Iran's Grand Strategy," said the regime must control the hardline faction known as the Jebhe-ye Paydari to ensure the agreement functions and avoid internal collapse.
- Sanam Vakil of Chatham House noted the pact does not resolve domestic economic grievances, meaning public support depends on whether the agreement improves daily life for ordinary Iranians.
