Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, along with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, is leading a high-level delegation to Islamabad for talks with the United States. Before the trip, Ghalibaf shared a poignant photo from their flight, featuring images of schoolchildren killed in a missile strike in Minab, which Iran alleges was conducted by the US. This act was intended to remind the world of the conflict's origins and the human cost involved. Ghalibaf referred to these children as his 'companions' and indicated that the Minab strike would be a significant topic during negotiations. Upon arrival in Islamabad, he expressed skepticism about the US, citing a history of failed negotiations and broken promises. He emphasized that while Iran is open to dialogue, trust remains an issue. Ghalibaf also stated that a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unblocking of Iranian assets are essential conditions for the talks to advance.
