Iran's parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said his country is approaching weekend peace talks with goodwill and readiness to come to a deal.

But he also expressed mistrust toward the U.S. after the last round of talks about Iran’s nuclear program, which appeared to be progressing, became a prelude to unexpected attacks.

“Unfortunately, our experience of negotiating with the Americans has always been accompanied by failure and breaches of commitments,” Ghalibaf said upon arrival to Islamabad ahead of peace talks with the U.S., according to the semiofficial Tasnim news agency.

Iran's parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf looks at the photos of the children killed in Madrasa Minab in Iran, while aboard a plane on his way to Pakistan.

He continued, “Twice within less than a year, in the middle of negotiations, despite the goodwill of the Iranian side, they attacked us and committed multiple war crimes.”.

The speaker offered hope, but clearly expressed wariness, according to the Tasnim report. »

### Trump’s amateur negotiators will struggle to save him from humiliation

Authored by inews.co.uk

Witkoff and Kushner are hawks; Vance, on the other hand, never seemed happy about the attack on Iran.

But Witkoff will face an Iranian team acknowledged as skilled negotiators, who have spent years steeped in nuclear diplomacy.

That depends on whether Witkoff, Kushner, and Vance can shape a deal that is not too obvious a humiliation for Trump. »
