Ghalibaf: Talks with Washington are illogical after ceasefire violations
He said Speaker of the Iranian Shura Council Muhammad Baqir Qalibaf The ceasefire and holding talks with the United States are illogical due to violations of Tehran’s ten-point plan, including the continuation of attacks in Lebanon, and the entry of a drone into the airspace Iranian, and denying the country’s right to enrichment.
Qalibaf added in a statement published on the X platform: "The deep historical mistrust we hold toward the United States stems from its repeated violations of all forms of commitments, a pattern that has unfortunately been repeated once again."
He reviewed 3 violations of the Iranian proposal, and continued: "Now, the practical basis on which negotiations can be negotiated has been openly and clearly violated, even before negotiations begin, and in such a situation, a bilateral ceasefire or entering into negotiations is illogical."
Do not allow the truce to collapse.
He said US Vice President Jay D. Vance It comes down to Iran if it wants the truce to collapse, calling on Tehran not to allow the The fragile ceasefire due to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, days before he leads talks with Tehran in Pakistan.
While Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that a ceasefire in Lebanon is one of the basic conditions in Tehran’s 10-point plan that forms the basis of the truce with the United States, Vance expressed his belief that there was a misunderstanding.
The US Vice President said: "I think the Iranians thought the ceasefire included Lebanon, but it did not include it. We never made a promise about that"
Very dangerous consequences
Vance said that Trump expects Iran to fulfill its promise to open the Strait of Hormuz to the passage of oil.
He continued: "If they break their commitment to this deal, they will face very serious consequences".
Vance is scheduled to lead the US delegation to the negotiations in Pakistan next Saturday.
The delegation will include, in addition to Vance, the US special envoy Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, according to what White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt explained in a press conference.
The White House said earlier that the talks in Islamabad may be direct.
