Conflicting reports have emerged regarding the status of Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on the nation's negotiating team. Israeli Channel 12 reported that Ghalibaf had resigned from the team, but multiple Iranian journalists have now publicly dismissed the claim, calling it "absolutely false and a joke." This denial adds a new layer of contradiction to the earlier reports, which also suggested internal IRGC pressure forced his resignation.
