A 2024 video of Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has resurfaced, showing him declaring that it is not honorable to negotiate with US President Donald Trump. Ghalibaf specifically cites Trump as the 'murderer of Qassem Soleimani,' the legendary former commander of the IRGC Quds Force. The clip, circulated via the Abu Ali Express channel, comes as Ghalibaf has recently emerged as Iran's primary diplomatic representative in virtual negotiations with the US, culminating in the signing of a bilateral memorandum of understanding. The Zioneer has previously reported on Ghalibaf's central role in these talks, including the June 14 signing ceremony attended by US Vice President JD Vance. The resurfaced video highlights a stark contradiction between Ghalibaf's past rhetoric and his current diplomatic posture.
