Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says Washington went through Moscow to try to get Tehran talking. Speaking Wednesday, Ghalibaf said the United States asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to reach out to Iran about direct negotiations, according to Iran's state broadcaster IRIB.
Ghalibaf didn't offer any details on the request itself — no timeline, no channel, no response from the Kremlin. The claim lands as an unconfirmed account from Iranian state media, with no word yet from US or Russian officials.
He did make Tehran's terms plain. Ghalibaf listed seven conditions Washington must meet before the Strait of Hormuz reopens and negotiations restart, saying the waterway will not return to how it looked before the war.
The speaker also repeated Iran's warning that any fresh US attack would be answered. If hostilities resume, Ghalibaf said, US President Donald Trump will face another defeat.
