Ghalibaf defying Supreme Leader’s red lines on US talks, MP says


An Iranian lawmaker accused Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Wednesday of pursuing negotiations with the United States against Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei’s stated red lines.
“He is conducting and advancing the negotiations against all the Leader’s red lines,” Kamran Ghazanfari said. “Whatever the Leader has said not to do, he has done the opposite.”
He said Ghalibaf had shut parliament to accept a ceasefire with the United States and Israel and begin talks with Washington without facing obstacles.
He dismissed as “completely false” claims that parliament sessions were suspended by a Supreme National Security Council decision.
