Iran's Parliament Speaker Says No Talks With US Until Conditions Met
Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said Tehran will not resume previous negotiations with Washington unless Iran's terms are fulfilled and U.S. commitments are carried out.
Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said on Sunday that Tehran will not return to previous rounds of negotiations with the United States until its conditions are met and U.S. commitments are implemented, according to Mehr News.
Qalibaf's remarks, reported by the Tehran-based outlet on September 20, also linked any reopening of a specified matter—cited in the report as the Strait of Hormuz—to the same conditions being satisfied.
The Mehr News report did not provide further details on the specific terms Iran is demanding or the nature of the U.S. commitments referenced by the parliament speaker.
The statement comes amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, though the report did not specify the current status of any diplomatic channels between the two countries.
Mehr News is a semi-official Iranian news agency. This report is based solely on information provided in that outlet's coverage; independent confirmation of the statements attributed to Qalibaf was not immediately available.
