Iran Parliament Speaker Qalibaf Says He Still Leads Nuclear Talks, Ball Now in US Court

Cointime update: Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf said on November 12 that Tehran has delivered a clear and reasonable reply to the United States setting out its conditions, but Washington has yet to respond formally, leaving the next step with the US. Qalibaf, who dismissed reports of changes to Iran’s negotiating team, said he still heads the six-member delegation and that Iran is determined to end its “neither war nor peace” state and build sustainable deterrence, warning of a firm response to any new US or Israeli attack.
