The Iranian parliament speaker said there is still a long way to go before a final agreement is reached with the United States.

On the 19th local time, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf stated in an interview with local media that Iran accepted the ceasefire to express its demands. Negotiation itself is a form of struggle, and Iran's main goal should be to advance and consolidate national rights within this framework. Regarding the progress of negotiations with the United States, Ghalibaf said that the negotiations have not eliminated the distrust between the two sides, but both sides have gained a more pragmatic understanding of each other. Some issues have been resolved in the negotiations, while others remain unresolved. He believes that the two sides still have a long way to go before reaching a final agreement. He also emphasized that Iran maintains its position on certain issues, and these demands are non-negotiable. (CCTV)
