Tehran, Iran – Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf affirmed that his country will not make peace with the United States, nor will it recognize Israel. His remarks reflect Tehran’s continued adherence to its political principles, despite the temporary truce and ongoing negotiations regarding several regional and international issues.
Adhere to political positions
The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament stated that Iran will not make peace with the United States, emphasizing that recognizing Israel is categorically unacceptable.
He added that Iranian policy is based on unwavering principles that do not change with changing circumstances or political developments.
He also affirmed that his country will continue to defend its declared positions.
Statements amid regional developments
The Iranian parliament speaker’s remarks come at a time of rapid developments in the region.
A temporary truce between Tehran and Washington continues, with talks between the two sides suspended until after the funeral of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
This is in addition to ongoing tensions on several issues, most notably maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz and the Iranian nuclear program.
Observers believe these remarks carry political messages directed at both the Iranian public and the international community.
They emphasize that any negotiation process will not alter the fundamental positions adopted by the Iranian leadership.
The future of relations with Washington
The Iranian parliament speaker’s statements reflect the continued political rift between Iran and the United States, despite indirect contacts and efforts to solidify the truce.
They also underscore Tehran’s continued refusal to recognize Israel. Meanwhile,
regional and international powers are closely monitoring developments in Iran and their impact on regional security and stability.
This comes amid anticipation of a resumption of political talks following the conclusion of the funeral ceremonies.
Some observers expect the coming period to bring developments in relations between the two sides.
