Iranian Parliament Deputy Speaker Hajibabayi: Negotiations with the USA continue

Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Hamid Reza Hajibabayi said that negotiations between Tehran and Washington through intermediaries are continuing, but in order to reach an agreement, Iran must conduct the negotiations from a strong position.

Speaking to the Iranian Student News Agency ISNA, Hajibabayi gave information about the latest status of the message exchange between Iran and the USA through intermediaries.

"Right now, talks with the United States are actually continuing." Hajibabayi said that past negotiations with Washington were never successful because the USA did not negotiate "honestly" with Iran.

Stating that Iran must negotiate from a strong position in order for the negotiations to be successful, Hacibabayi said, "As long as we do not speak to the United States from a position of power and authority, it will continue its current stance. The stronger our Armed Forces, government officials and negotiation team become, and the stronger we are, especially in the Strait of Hormuz, the more the United States will submit to our demands." made his assessment.
