Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf: "Iran is not negotiating with the U.S.; false reports are manipulating the markets, the speaker said." Iran has not held negotiations with the United States, and false reports are being used to manipulate markets, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Monday. “No negotiations have taken place with the US, and false reports are being used to manipulate financial and oil markets and to escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped,” the speaker said on the X program.
