Qalibaf: US Failed to Earn Trust in Islamabad Talks

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf says Washington failed to win Tehran’s trust during negotiations in Pakistan seeking a conclusive end to the US-Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic.

He made the remarks in an X post on Sunday after Iranian and US delegations failed to reach an agreement after more than 20 hours of negotiations in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad.

Qalibaf said that before the talks, he had emphasized that Iran has necessary good-faith and will, but the country has no trust in the opposite side due to the experience of the two US-Israeli imposed wars.

“My colleagues raised forward-looking initiatives, but the opposite side ultimately failed to win the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations,” he added.

“The US has realized our logic and principles, and now it has time to decide whether it can earn our trust or not?”

The top legislator also noted that Iran pursues powerful diplomacy, alongside military fight, for upholding the rights of Iranian people.

Tehran, he emphasized, will spare no endeavors to consolidate the achievements of Iran’s 40-day national defense.

Qalibaf further appreciated the efforts of Pakistan, as a friendly and brotherly country, in facilitating the process of Iran’s negotiations with the US.

Meanwhile, he thanked the heroic Iranian nation for holding mass street rallies and supporting the negotiators upon an advice by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei.

After 40 days of unrelenting US-Israeli aggression that began on February 28, the US formally accepted Iran’s 10-point proposal on Wednesday as the foundation for a permanent ceasefire.

During the war, Iranian armed forces unleashed 100 waves of successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.

They also blocked the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas tankers affiliated with the adversaries and those cooperating with them in an attempt to maintain security at the strategic waterway.
