Iran Insists on Securing Rights Before Signing US Peace Deal Amid Ongoing TalksPreviousNext

Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that Tehran will not sign any peace deal with the United States unless the rights of the Iranian people are secured and tangible results are achieved. He emphasized distrust of US promises amid ongoing negotiations to end the conflict that began in February. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump indicated progress toward a deal but warned of alternative actions if terms are unmet. Reports also mention a potential 60-day ceasefire extension and resumed Iranian gas production despite recent disruptions.
