Hardline Iranian MPs filed an impeachment motion against Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in early October 2026 over his September meeting with a U.S. envoy without explicit Supreme Leader authorization or full Supreme National Security Council coordination, highlighting divisions between parliamentary conservatives and the Pezeshkian administration on U.S. diplomacy amid ongoing conflict. The motion remains unregistered on the parliamentary agenda with no vote scheduled, and Araghchi continues active roles including recent talks with Russia’s Lavrov, OIC statements on the Strait of Hormuz, and mediated U.S. negotiations. Parliamentary procedures require significant support to advance removal, while regime priorities favor continuity in sensitive foreign policy during tensions. No other cabinet or constitutional changes affecting his tenure have occurred in the past 30 days.
