The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament stated that the American side was unable to win the trust of the Iranian delegation in the latest round of negotiations.
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf wrote in a post on the social media platform X that the Islamic Republic of Iran had emphasized goodwill and the necessary political will prior to the talks; however, due to the experience of two past wars, there is no trust toward the opposing side.
He added that members of the Iranian delegation, known as “Minab 168,” had put forward forward-looking initiatives, but the other side ultimately failed to earn the delegation’s confidence.
Ghalibaf continued that the United States, during the negotiations, came to understand Iran’s logic and principles and must now decide whether it is capable of gaining Iran’s trust.
The Speaker stressed that Iran is pursuing a “power-based diplomacy” alongside other approaches, including military countermeasures, to secure the nation’s rights, and will not retreat from efforts to consolidate the achievements of the 40-day national defense.
He also expressed appreciation for Pakistan’s role in facilitating the negotiation process, describing the country as a “friend and brother.”
In conclusion, Ghalibaf thanked public support and the efforts of the negotiating team during the intensive 21-hour talks, reaffirming Iran’s commitment to defending its national interests.
