He noted that despite the agreement, significant differences between Iran and the United States remain unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Ghalibaf, the memorandum does not signal an end to Tehran\u2019s broader disputes with Washington, and Iran continues to have serious disagreements with the United States over regional and international issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reiterating Iran\u2019s official policy toward Israel, the Iranian parliamentary speaker said the country would <strong>never recognize the State of Israel<\/strong> under any circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stated that, in line with the directives of <strong>Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/strong>, Iran would continue to support Muslims and resistance movements through what he described as missile deterrence and political pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ghalibaf said Iran views its support for resistance organizations as part of its regional strategy and emphasized that the country&#8217;s position has not changed despite ongoing diplomatic developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting with Hamas leader Mohammad Darwish focused on regional developments, the situation in the Middle East, and issues concerning the Palestinian cause, according to Iranian reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Iran has long been a political and military supporter of groups including Hamas and Hezbollah, while Israel and several Western countries accuse Tehran of backing armed organizations that contribute to regional instability. Iran, however, maintains that it supports legitimate resistance movements opposing Israeli policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The comments come at a time of continued geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where diplomatic initiatives coexist with ongoing disagreements over security, regional influence, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Iran has recently engaged in diplomatic efforts with international partners on various issues, senior Iranian officials continue to insist that such negotiations do not represent a change in the country&#8217;s core foreign policy positions regarding Israel and support for Palestinian groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Observers say Ghalibaf&#8217;s remarks underscore Tehran&#8217;s intention to maintain its traditional regional policy even as diplomatic discussions with international actors continue. The implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which Ghalibaf described as challenging but possible, is expected to remain closely watched as regional and international stakeholders monitor its impact on future relations and broader Middle Eastern stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN: Iranian Parliament Speaker and Chief Negotiator Bagher Ghalibaf has reaffirmed Iran\u2019s longstanding position that it will never recognize Israel, declaring that Tehran will continue..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/437527_4835115_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=7\" rel=\"category\">World<\/a>","tag_info":"World","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5064"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5064\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5066,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5064\/revisions\/5066"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
