During the talks in Islamabad, the US side failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation, sais the Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led the Iranian delegation in Islamabad, Tasnim reports.

“Before the talks, I emphasized that we have goodwill and the necessary determination, but based on the experience of the previous two wars, we do not trust the other side. My colleagues in the Iranian delegation put forward 168 forward-looking initiatives, but the other side ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations. The US understood our logic and principles and must now decide whether it can earn our trust or not. We have always considered diplomacy, alongside military struggle, as another means to secure the rights of the Iranian people, and we will not stop our efforts even for a moment to strengthen the achievements of the 40-day national defense of the Iranian people. We highly appreciate the efforts of friendly and brotherly Pakistan in facilitating the negotiation process,” Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said.
