Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf described the US-Iran framework deal as "a declaration of US defeat," saying Washington and Israel had miscalculated in launching the war.
"The Islamabad understanding was not the result of pressure and coercion, but rather the result of the resistance and authority of the brave Iranian nation," Ghalibaf, who heads the Iranian negotiating team, told the PUIC parliamentary summit in Baku.
"The era of imposing will on independent nations is over," he added.
His remarks came as technical talks under the 60-day framework continued, with Iranian and US negotiators still divided over key outstanding issues — most acutely on the future of the Strait of Hormuz and nuclear inspections in Iran.
US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social on Wednesday that Tehran had assured Washington there would be "no tolls, no insurance costs, and no other charges of any kind" for ships passing through the crucial waterway, warning that if the information proved false, "negotiations would end immediately."
