Recent media reports have indicated that Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament, has stepped down from his role as chief negotiator in the stalled peace talks with the United States. Sources from Iran International and Israel's Channel N12 claim that Ghalibaf's resignation may have been prompted by reprimands related to the inclusion of the nuclear dispute in discussions and interference from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. However, there has been no official confirmation from the Iranian government, which typically provides initial statements on such matters. Ghalibaf's absence from a recent delegation meeting in Pakistan has fueled speculation, as foreign minister Abbas Araghchi led the talks instead. The peace negotiations have faced significant setbacks, with President Donald Trump canceling the US delegation's planned visit to Islamabad, citing excessive travel and lack of a strategic plan. As it stands, the future of the talks remains uncertain, with both sides struggling to reach an agreement.
