Ceasefire in Lebanon and Asset Release Must Precede US Negotiations, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Insists

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s Parliament Speaker, emphasized that negotiations with the US cannot commence until two crucial prerequisites are fulfilled: the establishment of a lasting ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of Iran’s assets. In a recent statement on X, Ghalibaf underscored the necessity of these conditions, stating that they must be met before any talks can begin.
