Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf declared that a bilateral ceasefire or negotiations are unreasonable in the current situation. This statement addresses ongoing regional tensions involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. Ghalibaf's remarks highlight perceived violations that undermine diplomatic efforts.
Ghalibaf specified that three key clauses of a 10-point proposal were violated before negotiations even started. The violations encompass a breach of ceasefire in Lebanon, the entry of a drone into Iranian airspace, and the denial of Iran's right to uranium enrichment. These points were outlined in his statement released on social media platform X.
The first violation pertains to continued Israeli operations in Lebanon, which Ghalibaf described as breaching the ceasefire clause.
The second involves an intruding drone in Iranian airspace, seen as a direct incursion. The third concerns the rejection of Iran's uranium enrichment rights, a core element in nuclear talks. Ghalibaf's position indicates Iran's reluctance to proceed with bilateral talks without addressing these issues.
No immediate response from the United States or Israel was reported in the available sources.
