The Iranian president told the supreme leader that the economic situation was dire, the US maritime blockade was strangling Iran, and if he rejected the agreement, he would resign. Additionally, Iran's Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati also wrote to Khamenei, stating that the country was facing a severe budget crisis, and if the maritime blockade continued, critical food and medical supplies would run out by the end of August. Hemmati explained in the letter that Iran could not sell oil on the required scale and find alternative trade routes. These statements played a key role in Mujtaba's final decision to support the agreement.
