Trump reveals the name America is in contact with in Iran: The person we are talking to in Iran...

Trump stated regarding Ghalibaf, "We'll see if he's going to work with us or not. He has one week for that."

A swift denial of Trump's claim came from Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

Ghalibaf's statement on the matter is as follows: "The enemy, while threatening our nation on one hand, is serving its own desires as news on the other.

A big mistake. If they strike a blow, they will receive several blows in return. By God's permission, the Iranian people, under the leadership of the Supreme Leader, will make the enemy regret its aggression and reclaim their rights."

WHO IS GHALIBAF?

It had been reported that Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, while becoming an increasingly decisive actor in the country's politics, was preparing to take on a critical role in potential negotiations that could be conducted with the US amidst the ongoing war. According to a report by Reuters citing a Pakistani source, it was claimed that Ghalibaf, along with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, had been removed from Israel's target list.

The source speaking to the news outlet stated that Israel had planned to target the individuals in question, but diplomatic contacts intervened to halt this process. The source said that the message "If these names are eliminated, there will be no one left to negotiate with" was conveyed to the US, after which Washington made Tel Aviv take a step back. According to Politico, 64-year-old Ghalibaf is considered a 'workable interlocutor' by some US officials, despite his harsh public messaging.
