Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who is leading the contacts with the U.S. on an agreement to end the war, published a post on X in which he attacked U.S. President Donald Trump – and did not address the planned round of talks in Pakistan. Ghalibaf wrote: "Trump, through imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, is trying to turn the negotiating table – in his imagination – into a table of surrender or to justify the resumption of warmongering. We do not accept negotiations under threats, and in recent weeks we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield."
