Iran (IMNA) - Parliament spokesperson Abbas Goudarzi said the joint presence of the Foreign Minister and the Armed Forces Chief of Staff highlighted the close coordination between Iran’s diplomatic and defense sectors. Lawmakers stressed that diplomacy and defense are not separate tracks but part of a unified national capacity serving the country’s interests.
During the session, the head of the Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission and several lawmakers cautioned against repeating past mistakes, emphasizing the need for vigilance in ongoing negotiations. They pointed to the United States’ history of breached commitments and deceptive practices, underscoring that negotiations must be conducted from a position of strength. Preservation of Iran’s nuclear industry was described as a non-negotiable red line.
Referring to statements by Araghchi and Mousavi, Goudarzi noted that Iran will under no circumstances accept zero-percent uranium enrichment, describing the right to enrichment as essential for future generations. He also highlighted that the framework and location of upcoming negotiations in Oman were fully determined by Iran, reflecting the country’s diplomatic authority.
The session included a review of recent military events, including the 12-day conflict, which Mousavi described as a foiled 20-year plan by adversaries. Lawmakers were briefed on Iran’s enhanced defense capabilities, including the successful penetration of Israeli air defense systems by Iranian missiles during the conflict. Officials stressed that current military capabilities surpass those of that period.
National unity and social cohesion were emphasized as central to safeguarding Iran’s security. Regarding nuclear talks with the United States, officials reiterated that negotiations are indirect, taking place at Iran’s proposal, and any agreement must protect national dignity and interests without tying military or economic affairs to negotiation outcomes.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described diplomacy as a form of struggle, asserting that Iran will not compromise on core principles, including nuclear enrichment and missile capabilities. Foreign Minister Araghchi reaffirmed that any agreement would comply with parliamentary laws and emphasized continued focus on economic diplomacy, particularly with neighboring countries.
The session concluded with a strong message that negotiations under threat are unacceptable.
