Iran demands Hezbollah be part of US deal

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has detailed Iran's negotiating stance in recent talks with the United States, adding a new condition to previous demands. He stated that Iran insists Hezbollah must be treated as an integral part of any broader deal and that unresolved violations tied to the group cannot be ignored. Ghalibaf now says Tehran will not move forward unless frozen Iranian assets are released, framing both issues as non-negotiable prerequisites for progress. This hardening position comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions and follows President Trump's repeated threats against Iran.
