Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, head of Iran's negotiating team, said Sunday that the era of unilateral agreements is over and warned the other side to keep its commitments or 'pay the price,' according to Israeli media.
Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf issued a fresh warning Sunday morning, reiterating that the 'era of unilateral agreements is over' and demanding that the other side uphold its commitments or face consequences. The statement, published at 08:16 Jerusalem time, follows Qalibaf's earlier remarks at 07:30 in which he cited a clause from the Iran-US memorandum of understanding ensuring safe passage for commercial vessels in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman for 60 days, as The Zioneer reported. The new warning sharpens Tehran's negotiating posture, signaling that the leadership considers the diplomatic track incomplete without full implementation of terms. Qalibaf has made similar statements in recent weeks, including a June 12 address in which he said commitments must be kept 'with no ifs, buts, or excuses,' and a June 8 interview asserting that the naval blockade would be turned into 'a defeat for the enemy.' The latest message comes as indirect talks continue, with no public confirmation of a breakthrough.
