Iran will not compromise on its national rights in any negotiations with the United States regarding the cessation of hostilities. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf delivered this definitive message to Pakistan`s Army Chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, during their meeting in Tehran on Saturday. The Pakistani military leader is currently on a diplomatic mission in the Iranian capital to engage with top leadership as part of broader regional efforts to de-escalate the conflict.Ghalibaf reaffirmed Iran`s firm stance during the high-level diplomatic engagement.
In the meeting, Ghalibaf warned that Iran has successfully reorganized its armed forces following the ceasefire agreement signed on April 8. He cautioned the Trump administration that any "reckless" decision by President Donald Trump to launch fresh attacks would lead to consequences far more destructive and bitter than previous engagements. Before the meeting with the Speaker, Field Marshal Munir held extensive discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, continuing late into Friday night and resuming on Saturday morning. Despite these intensive diplomatic sessions, no significant breakthrough or resolution has been announced by either party.
Meanwhile, anxiety over potential US military action has reached new heights. Axios and CBS News reported that the Trump administration is actively considering new strikes against Iran, with the President reportedly altering his weekend schedule to return to the White House. Following meetings with top advisors on Friday, reports surfaced indicating the cancellation of leave for US military and intelligence personnel, fueling widespread speculation regarding a return to active combat.
Iran has responded by temporarily restricting civilian aviation within its western airspace due to fears of imminent US military action. The Iranian Civil Aviation Organization issued a statement confirming that flight authorizations for airports in the western flight information region have been suspended. The agency added that while eight major airports across the country remain operational, including Imam Khomeini and Mehrabadi, flight operations are restricted to daylight hours and require individual special clearances for every departure.
