TL;DR

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, upon landing in Zurich on Sunday morning, delivered a statement in which he said he considers 'the oppressed martyrs of Minab and all the dear martyrs of Iran' as watching his actions and behavior every moment. 'They see us and they have expectations from us,' he added, according to Iranian Telegram channels. Ghalibaf also said, 'May I not fail before the oppressed martyrs and the Iranian nation, and may I join my fellow martyrs, whom I count every moment to see.'

The remarks, relayed by Iranian-state aligned messaging channels, come as Ghalibaf is in Switzerland for talks with the United States. The Zioneer has previously reported on Ghalibaf's hardline rhetoric in the context of the ongoing negotiations; this statement, with its religious and martyrological framing, appears directed at a domestic hardline audience amid diplomatic progress.
