Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Galibaf described the newly signed memorandum of understanding with the United States to end hostilities as a document of Washington’s failure. He made the remarks in a televised interview following the signing of the agreement, emphasizing that the Iranian people would judge the outcome themselves.

Galibaf stated that Iran entered the talks from a position of strength, asserting that victories on the battlefield had shaped the context of the negotiations. He contrasted the current discussions with previous ones, saying that the flag of victory now serves as the foundation for dialogue.

He further noted that every war ending in victory must be recorded in legal and political documents to ensure that its achievements are preserved and meaningful.
