BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 12. Despite the Iranian
side putting forward initiatives aimed at advancing the
negotiations in Islamabad, the American side in this round of talks
was unable to win the trust of the Iranian delegation, the head of
the Iranian delegation in the U.S.–Iran talks in Islamabad, Speaker
of Parliament Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said, Trend reports.
According to him, the American side has understood Iran’s logic
and principles and can now decide whether it is able to gain Iran’s
trust.
Ghalibaf stated that alongside military struggle, Iran views the
power of diplomacy as another method of ensuring the rights of its
citizens and will spare no effort to consolidate the achievements
gained during 40 days of defense.
“Iran also expresses its gratitude to friendly and brotherly
Pakistan for facilitating the simplification of this negotiation
process,” he noted.
Due to the lack of concrete results between the U.S. and Iran on
the nuclear program, the U.S. and Israel launched military
airstrikes against Iran on February 28, while Iran on the same day
began striking Israel and U.S. facilities in the region with
missiles and UAVs. Through Pakistan’s mediation, a two-week
ceasefire agreement was reached between the sides on April 7. The
U.S.–Iran talks held in Islamabad on April 11 ended without
reaching an agreement.
