TEHRAN (dpa-AFX) – Iran’s parliamentary speaker has appeared suspicious despite positive signs of a negotiated solution with the USA. “We trust neither guarantees nor words. Only actions are decisive,” wrote Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf on X. The real winner of an agreement is the one who is better prepared for war the day after, he added. Ghalibaf wrote that Iran won’t get concessions through talks, “but through missiles.”
According to US information, the USA and Iran are approaching an agreement on an extension of the ceasefire and further negotiations. Much progress has been made regarding a declaration of intent, but some points are still being worked on, said US Vice President JD Vance. However, it remains to be seen whether President Donald Trump will agree. It was said from Tehran that a provisional agreement had not yet been formulated and therefore had not been confirmed./arb/DP/stw
