Iran’s Parliament Speaker Says US Talks Aim at Security, Not Normalization

(MENAFN) Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has said that any negotiations with the United States are intended to end conflict and establish lasting security, rather than move toward normalization of relations.

According to reports, Qalibaf made the remarks in an audio message shared on his official social media accounts on Monday, addressing recent regional tensions and ongoing diplomatic dynamics.

He said that current instability has been driven by ceasefire violations and what he described as a maritime blockade, framing the situation as part of a broader conflict environment.

“The military field, diplomacy, public participation and service to the people are all parts of a single integrated framework,” he said.

Qalibaf argued that diplomacy and military action are not mutually exclusive and can be pursued simultaneously depending on circumstances.

“The goal of negotiations is ending the war and creating lasting security, not normalizing relations with the United States,” he said.

He added that diplomacy should not be limited to formal negotiations alone, stressing that Iran must pursue what he described as a “carefully engineered victory based on strength and rationality.”
