Iran's parliament speaker says US sent proposals via mediator as delegation row escalates
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf said the United States recently submitted proposals through an intermediary, adding that the era of stalling and unilateral demands is over. The US State Department said Washington expelled two members of the Iranian delegation who remained in the country after the UN General Assembly meetings ended. Araghchi said there is no military solution with Iran, while BBC Arabic reported on camps training women to use weapons in the country.
Why it matters
The statements point to indirect channels between Tehran and Washington running alongside visible diplomatic friction. Progress or breakdown on this track would affect Gulf security and energy markets.
Background
The Majlis is Iran's parliament, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is its speaker. The UN General Assembly meetings bring together delegations from member states, including Iran and the United States. Washington and Tehran do not maintain formal diplomatic relations.
