Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said on Sunday that the United States failed to gain Iran’s trust during recent negotiations, despite what he described as Tehran’s willingness to engage in “good faith.”
In a series of posts on X, Ghalibaf stated that the Iranian delegation presented “forward-looking initiatives,” but the US failed to build trust. He added that the US must now decide whether it can earn Iran’s trust, having already understood Tehran’s logic and principles.
“Before the negotiations, I emphasised that we have the necessary good faith and intent. However, based on our experiences from the past two conflicts, we have no trust in the opposing side. My colleagues in the Iranian delegation put forward forward-looking initiatives, but the other side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of talks,” Ghalibaf posted on X.
In another post, he wrote: “America has understood our logic and principles, and now it must decide whether it can earn our trust.”
His remarks come after high-level talks between US and Iranian officials in Islamabad failed to produce an agreement. Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation during the negotiations with the US in Pakistan.
