Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, head of Iran's negotiating team, met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Wednesday, according to N12's Asaf Rozentzweig. The meeting continues Qalibaf's regional diplomatic push; he also addressed the OIC in Baku earlier Wednesday.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, who also serves as head of Iran's negotiating team in ongoing indirect talks with the United States, met Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku on Wednesday, N12's Asaf Rozentzweig reported. The meeting follows Qalibaf's address earlier Wednesday to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Baku, where he called on regional countries to determine the Middle East's political and security agenda.
As The Zioneer reported on June 23, Qalibaf met with Oman's Sultan Haitham in Muscat alongside Foreign Minister Araghchi for discussions on maritime security and regional diplomacy. The current meetings — both in Baku and previously in Muscat — represent a coordinated Iranian diplomatic effort across multiple regional capitals, with Pakistani mediation also playing a role in US-Iran contacts. No details on the content of Wednesday's Baku meeting have been released.
