Iran Rejects US Nuclear Deal: Sanctions Remain a Major Hurdle

Iran Rejects US Nuclear Proposal: Parliament Speaker Criticizes Trump's Approach Tehran, Iran – Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has publicly rejected a recent US proposal concerning Iran's nuclear program. In a statement, Ghalibaf asserted that the proposal failed to address the crucial issue of sanctions relief. He expressed his disappointment, stating, "The American proposal did not include the lifting of sanctions, a key demand for any agreement." This statement underscores the deep-seated mistrust between the two nations. The video accompanying the statement shows footage of the Iranian parliament, highlighting the gravity of the situation. It also includes images of nuclear facilities, symbolizing the central issue at hand. Ghalibaf's criticism of former President Trump's approach was particularly sharp. He stated, "Trump's approach was based on unrealistic expectations and failed to consider the realities of the situation." This suggests that Iran believes a more pragmatic approach from the US is needed for any future negotiations. The rejection of the US proposal further complicates the already tense geopolitical landscape. The international community will be closely watching for any further developments and potential responses from the US government. The path forward remains uncertain, but the Iranian Parliament's firm stance signals a significant hurdle in any attempt to reach a resolution.
