Claim 1: “Iran turmoil erupts: Ultra-hardliner who mocked Trump poised to take over nuclear talks”

CORROBORATED

Multiple web search results report that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Iran’s negotiating team, is facing changes or internal disagreements. One source explicitly mentions he 'looks set to be replaced by a veteran conservative known for rejecting nuclear concessions,' which aligns with the claim's core assertion. The evidence points to internal turmoil and potential replacement of hardliners.
