TEHRAN- Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said the United States has yet to earn Tehran’s trust following the latest round of negotiations held in Islamabad.

In a post on X on Sunday, Qalibaf, who headed Iran’s negotiating delegation, stated that the talks concluded without tangible results, as the American side failed to convince Iranian officials of its credibility.

“Before the negotiations, I emphasized that we possess the necessary goodwill and determination. However, based on the experience of two previous wars, we do not trust the other side,” he wrote. “Members of the Iranian delegation presented constructive initiatives, but ultimately, the opposing side was unable to gain the trust of the Iranian team during this round.”

He added that the United States had come to understand Iran’s logic and principles, stressing that Washington must now decide whether it is capable of building trust with Tehran.

Qalibaf further underscored that Iran will continue to pursue a “diplomacy of power” alongside its military resistance, describing the approach as essential to safeguarding the rights of the Iranian people. He noted that efforts to consolidate the achievements of “forty days of national defense” would remain ongoing.

The speaker also expressed gratitude to Pakistan for hosting and facilitating the negotiations, and praised the Iranian public for their support, saying they had rallied in large numbers in response to guidance from the country’s leadership. He also commended his negotiating team for their efforts during the “intensive 21-hour talks.”

Senior Iranian and US officials met in Islamabad on Saturday to explore a permanent resolution to the US-Israeli war against Iran, following a two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The discussions ended without an agreement.
