Iran parliamentary speaker Ghalibaf has resigned from negotiations – Iran media
Ok, so now there is some real smoke around the idea that there is division in the Iranian delegation.
Iran state media reports that Ghalibaf is out for including nuclear in negotiations:
According to information received by Iran International, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of the Islamic Republic’s negotiating delegation with U.S. representatives in Islamabad, has resigned and stepped down from membership in this delegation.
Based on this information, Qalibaf has been reprimanded in the Islamic Republic for his efforts to include the nuclear energy issue as part of the negotiation axes with America, and has been forced to resign.
According to Iran International’s information, the possibility of replacing Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf with Saeed Jalili at the head of the negotiating delegation has been raised, and Abbas Araghchi is also trying to take responsibility for the file of negotiations with America by stepping aside Ghalibaf.
This truly means the hardliners are in charge.
