Iran's Ghalibaf says Tehran has no trust in words, will judge by actions

Iran's top negotiator, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Friday in a post on X/Twitter that Tehran does not trust guarantees or words and would judge by actions, adding that Iran would not act unless the other side acted first."We seize concessions not through dialogue, but with missiles," said Ghalibaf. "In negotiations, we merely make them understand."۱-ما امتیازات را نه با گفتگو، بلکه با موشک‌‌ها می‌گیریم، در مذاکره فقط آن‌ها را تفهیم می‌کنیم. ۲- هیچ اعتمادی به تضمین‌ها و حرف‌ها نداریم، فقط رفتارها معیار است. اقدامی پیش از اقدام طرف مقابل انجام نخواهد شد. ۳-پیروز هر توافق، کسی است که از فردای آن بهتر برای جنگ آماده شود.— محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) May 29, 2026"The winner of any agreement is the one who is better prepared for war from the day after," he added.Earlier on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he had discussed the Strait of Hormuz and its future administration with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi in line with their sovereign responsibilities and international law.In a post on X, Araghchi said he also expressed Iran's solidarity with Oman against any threat.In very productive call with FM @badralbusaidi, expressed Iran's solidarity with Oman in face of any threat.We discussed Hormuz and its future administration in line with our sovereign responsibilities and international law.We welcome consultation with all neighboring states. pic.twitter.com/MB6EVYNkNn— Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) May 29, 2026"We welcome consultation with all neighboring states, added Araghchi.US-Iran deal not yet finalizedThe United States and Iran reached an agreement on Thursday to extend their ceasefire and lift restrictions on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sources told Reuters, though US President Donald Trump has yet to approve it, and Iranian state media said it had not been finalized.According to an Axios report citing two US officials, the proposed memorandum of understanding would last 60 days and begin negotiations toward a final agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.The semi-official Iranian state media outlet Tasnim denied on Thursday that the draft memorandum of understanding had been finalized.Amichai Stein and Goldie Katz contributed to this report.
