The statement reaffirms the regime's longstanding opposition to diplomatic normalization with Jerusalem.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf posted on X on Sunday evening that Tehran has no peace with the United States and will not recognize Israel. The brief statement, reported via the social media platform and cited by Israeli security correspondent Yair Goldblatt, comes as the latest in a series of hardline remarks from Qalibaf. As The Zioneer has previously reported (background items), Qalibaf has in recent weeks dismissed US threats, threatened military escalation if diplomatic commitments are broken, and warned that US and Israeli assets in the region are no longer immune. Sunday's declaration did not reference any specific current event or crisis, and no immediate response from Washington or Jerusalem was reported. The statement appears to reinforce the regime's maximalist opposition to any normalization with Israel amid ongoing tensions and nuclear diplomacy.
