Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the U.S. must meet seven conditions, including the release of $100 billion in frozen assets and $300 billion in compensation, to regain Tehran's trust. Ghalibaf accused the Trump administration of violating the Islamabad agreement, while President Masoud Pezeshkian demanded that Washington lift all sanctions and threats before dialogue resumes. Army Chief Munir departed Tehran on Tuesday shortly after a Qatari delegation arrived, and the border between Iran and Pakistan has reopened.

Security Chief Mohsen Rezaei stated that not a single particle of enriched uranium will leave the country during a meeting in Tehran with Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir. Rezaei described the nuclear material as a national asset and rejected entering negotiations with Washington until the U.S. fulfills specific trust-building requirements. These remarks follow reports from Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Munir delivered a Qatari-Pakistani compromise proposal, backed by the U.S., that would have traded secret IAEA inspections for the interest on $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds.
