Daughter of dead dual national prisoner calls nuclear talks Tehran’s ‘countdown’

The daughter of Jamshid Sharmahd, a dual-nationality detainee who died in Iranian custody, accused Tehran of using nuclear diplomacy to mask its brutality.

“The world may play your game a little longer. But history is shifting—and you can feel it. A regime built on hostage-taking, barbaric torture and executions cannot survive truth,” Ghazaleh Sharmahd wrote in a post on X, responding to comments by Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi about progress in US-Iran talks.

“Your Khomeinist Islamist Regime killed my father then mutilated his body to silence him. You cut out his tongue. But his voice speaks through us now.”

She dismissed the negotiations as a game and warned Iranian authorities: “I call it your countdown.”
