Iran sets strict conditions for negotiations
The head of the Iranian negotiating team, Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf, published a firm statement today, May 31, 2026, regarding his country's diplomatic efforts. According to reports in a number of news channels, Qalibaf clarified that Tehran will not move toward signing any agreement "until all our rights are respected" in full.
The message from Qalibaf, as published on Israel News IL (which takes a critical line toward Iran), highlights deep distrust toward the other side. According to him: "We have no faith in the promises of the enemy, only in clear results on the ground".
Similar remarks were published in parallel by Asaf Rosensweig, News from the Wide World, Israel News | Uncensored - Voice of the News, and Political Arena. The wording is almost identical in all sources, which indicates an official and coordinated stance of the Iranian leadership.
The remarks reflect Iran's hawkish policy, which demands practical proof on the ground as a prerequisite for any diplomatic progress, all while using militant rhetoric directed at international actors defined by it as the "enemy".
