Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has said negotiations with the US cannot begin until two key conditions are met: the implementation of a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of frozen Iranian assets, Al Jazeera reports.
“Two of the measures mutually agreed upon between the parties have yet to be implemented: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Iran’s blocked assets prior to the commencement of negotiations,” Ghalibaf has said in a post on X.
“These two matters must be fulfilled before negotiations begin.”
