Iranian Delegation Arrives in Pakistan for Peace Talks, Wary of Past US Betrayal Experience
A high-level delegation from the Iranian government has arrived in Pakistan to start a crucial process of peace negotiations with the United States. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated a position of high caution, asserting that although coming with good intentions, Iran does not trust the promises of the Washington government.
Qalibaf reminded of the bitter experience of his country, which was repeatedly betrayed by the United States in previous negotiations. He affirmed that vigilance is the top priority for the Iranian team in these talks, while stating the absolute condition for achieving permanent peace in the Middle East region.
The senior Iranian politician noted that the US must recognize and grant the full rights of the Iranian people if it truly desires a sincere agreement. He also cautioned that Tehran is prepared to take unilateral steps if the negotiations prove to be merely a cover for a military deception operation, relying on their own military combat capabilities.
