Iranian authorities remain defiant, urge supporters to stay in streets

Apr 13, 2026

Tehran [Iran], April 13: Iranian authorities said the United States needs to do more if an agreement is to be made to end the war as they urge their supporters to maintain control of the streets.
The US delegation "ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations", said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliament speaker who led the Iranian team.
Judiciary chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei thanked the delegation that went to Islamabad and said they "guarded the rights" of the supporters of Iran's government, including paramilitary forces converging on main squares, streets and mosques in Tehran and other cities every night for more than six weeks.
When the delegations were engaged in the talks on Saturday night, a member of the aerospace division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was shown by state television telling flag-waving supporters in downtown Tehran not to be concerned.
"If the enemy does not understand, we will make them understand," the man said to cheers from the crowd, some of whom demanded more missile and drone attacks from the IRGC.
