Iran US talks have taken a critical turn as Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that Iran has “no trust” in the United States, despite attending the negotiations in good faith.

Speaking ahead of key discussions, Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran’s participation reflects goodwill but warned that trust remains a major obstacle in reaching any agreement. He reiterated that certain pre-agreed conditions must be fulfilled before meaningful progress can be achieved.

Among the key demands, Ghalibaf called for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and the restoration of Iran’s frozen financial assets. He stressed that these points were previously agreed upon but have yet to be implemented, raising concerns over the credibility of the negotiation process.

The Iranian speaker further stated that Tehran is open to a deal if the United States presents a genuine agreement that recognizes Iran’s rights. He underscored that any future deal must be based on fairness, mutual respect, and concrete commitments.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reinforced this stance, urging Washington to honor its commitments. He noted that the United States had promised a ceasefire in Lebanon and must now follow through on that pledge to build confidence.

The latest remarks highlight the challenges facing the ongoing Iran–US talks, as both sides attempt to bridge deep-rooted mistrust while negotiating a potential ceasefire and broader diplomatic agreement.

Analysts believe that the success of the negotiations will largely depend on whether the United States can address Iran’s core demands, particularly on sanctions relief, asset recovery, and regional ceasefire commitments.
