Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker and top negotiator, says Iran will not accept any agreement ending its conflict with the US unless there is certainty that the Iranian people’s rights are secured, Al Jazeera reports, citing Iranian media.
He was speaking during a virtual session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly held this morning.
“There is no trust in the enemy’s words and promises. Our only criterion is to achieve tangible results before we fulfil our commitments in return,” he added after taking an oath as the re-elected speaker of parliament alongside its praesidium.
“We will not approve any agreement until we are sure that we have taken the rights of the Iranian people,” he was quoted as saying by ISNA.
