U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the person he met in Iran was Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament. Trump said, "We will see in a week if Ghalibaf will work with us."
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the new names replacing the Iranian leaders who were killed as a result of the attacks by the U.S. and Israel are "behaving much more reasonably," and he indicated that they would learn within a week whether Iran would work with the U.S.
TRUMP, APPARENTLY MEETING WITH GALIBAF IN IRAN
U.S. President Donald Trump gave an exclusive interview to the New York Post. Trump revealed that the person they met in Iran was the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Trump, who claimed that there has been a "regime change" because senior officials in Iran were killed in U.S. and Israeli attacks, said, "A complete regime change has occurred because the past (names) are gone; we are now facing a completely new group of people."
"WE WILL SEE IF THEY WILL WORK TOGETHER"
Trump suggested that the new names have "behaved much more reasonably so far," and stated that they would see whether the Speaker of the Iranian Islamic Consultative Assembly, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, would work with the U.S. "within a week."
Regarding questions about whether Iran's new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is alive, Trump stated, "No one has heard from him. He is seriously injured. He is probably (alive) but we think he is in extremely bad condition."
"THE ENEMY IS SPREADING ITS DEMANDS AS NEWS"
A striking statement came from Ghalibaf. In a statement he made on his social media account, Ghalibaf said: "The enemy, while threatening our nation on one hand, is spreading its own demands as news on the other. A big mistake. Even if they hit one, they will receive several in return.
With God's permission, the Iranian people, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, will make the enemy regret this aggression and will reclaim their rights."
REMOVED FROM THE ASSASSINATION LIST
On the other hand, according to a report published last week in the U.S. press by the Wall Street Journal, unlike the process in which names like Ali Khamenei and Ali Larijani were killed, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Ghalibaf, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi were temporarily removed from the target list. The timing of the decision, which came during secret diplomatic contacts aimed at reducing tensions in the region, was noteworthy.
