The badge worn by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who is leading the negotiations with the United States, made a significant impact on the talks. The badge featured the images of the religious leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the US-Israel attacks, and the new religious leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
Critical talks between the US and Iran began in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. Delegations from both sides are negotiating through Pakistani intermediaries. During a meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the badge worn by the head of the Iranian delegation, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, drew attention.
HE DID NOT FORGET HAMANEY
The badge worn by Qalibaf, the head of the Iranian delegation dressed in black due to the death of 168 girls in Minab, featured the religious leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israel attacks, alongside the new religious leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
STUDENTS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN MINAB WERE NOT FORGOTTEN
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf shared a striking photo from the plane they boarded to go to Islamabad.
The 168 students, teachers, and parents who lost their lives in the girls' school in Minab, targeted in the joint attacks of the US and Israel on February 28, were not forgotten.
Qalibaf shared a photo showing the students' pictures and student bags with flowers placed on the seats, noting, "My companions on this flight."
GALIBAF: WE HAVE GOODWILL, BUT NO TRUST
According to Tasnim News Agency, Galibaf responded to journalists' questions at Islamabad Airport regarding the recent statements of US Vice President JD Vance.
Mohammad Galibaf stated, "Unfortunately, our negotiation experience with the US has always resulted in failure and their failure to keep their promises. In less than a year, while negotiations continued twice, despite the goodwill of the Iranian side, they attacked us and committed numerous war crimes. We have goodwill, but we do not have trust."
Qalibaf expressed that the Iranian side is also ready for an agreement if the US side is prepared for a real deal and grants the rights of the Iranian people during the negotiations in Islamabad, stating, "In the current war, we showed them this; if they want to use negotiations as a futile show and deception operation, we are also ready to obtain our rights by relying on our faith in God and the strength of our people."
