Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has expressed deep distrust of the United States, stating that no agreement, even one backed by a UN Security Council resolution, can be considered trustworthy. According to sources, Qalibaf emphasized that Iran's own power remains its only guarantee.
The remarks underscore continued hardline opposition to any future diplomatic deal with the US. Qalibaf's comments reflect the deep-seated skepticism within Iran's political establishment toward international agreements, particularly regarding the nuclear program.
