  "account": "A prominent Iranian lawmaker, Ebrahim Rezaei, has been demoted following his criticism of U.S. negotiations and threats against Washington. Rezaei, a staunch supporter of Iran's hardline faction, was stripped of his role as spokesman for the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee. The decision followed his vocal opposition to talks with Washington, a stance that had earned him a reputation as one of the most outspoken critics of such negotiations. Rezaei, known for his strong anti-Israel and anti-U.S. rhetoric on social media, maintained his opposition even after losing his position. He vowed to respond to any future attacks on Iran, suggesting a range of options ranging from withdrawing from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to changing Iran's nuclear doctrine. Despite his removal, Rezaei's hardline views continued to be a significant force within the committee.",
