Qalibaf threatens to quit as Iran negotiator

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has threatened to resign from his role as head of Iran's negotiating team in talks with the United States. The threat stems from his reported frustration with infighting among the Iranian leadership. It is now unclear if he remains the lead Iranian negotiator, casting further doubt on the status of any potential diplomatic engagement. This development follows Supreme Leader Khamenei's directive forbidding negotiations with the US under current circumstances.
