Tasnim News Agency, closely linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, claimed that Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi's contact with US Special Envoy Witkov was unauthorized by the Supreme National Security Council and described it as "wrong," deeming it contrary to national interests and demanding an explanation. Jason Brodsky, policy director of the US-based United Against Nuclear Iran organization, expressed skepticism about Tasnim's report, stating that comments by Supreme National Security Council Secretary Rezaei indicated the talks were known to and coordinated by the council. Brodsky suggested that Tasnim's report "may be an attempt by factions within the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to create chaos and political problems for Foreign Minister Araqchi and President Pezehiziyan within Iran."
