Iran’s parliamentary speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has said that Tehran will not accept any agreement with the United States unless it produces clear and measurable outcomes, according to state media reports cited by Al Jazeera.
Speaking during a virtual session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Ghalibaf stressed that any potential deal would only be considered if there is firm assurance that the rights of the Iranian people are fully protected.
He said there is “no trust in the enemy’s words and promises,” adding that Iran’s stance is focused on securing “tangible results” before taking on any commitments in return. Ghalibaf made these remarks after being sworn in as the re-elected speaker of parliament along with the assembly’s presidium. “We will not approve any agreement until we are certain that the rights of the Iranian people have been secured,” he was quoted as saying by ISNA.
