WANA (May 28) – Fadahossein Maleki, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said the ongoing negotiations involving Iran have achieved “significant progress,” adding that a large portion of Tehran’s proposals has been accepted during recent talks.

 

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a memorial ceremony for the late IRGC commander Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Maleki described the negotiations as one of the most important issues currently being discussed both domestically and internationally, saying all sides appear interested in reaching a final outcome.

 

“The latest developments show that good progress has been made,” he said. “During the most recent visit of negotiating delegations to Iran — where I also had the opportunity to attend the talks alongside Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi — most of the Islamic Republic’s proposals were accepted.”

 

Maleki said the negotiations have advanced considerably in quantitative terms, while qualitative progress has also been achieved to some extent. However, he noted that several concerns raised by Tehran still remain unresolved and require action from the U.S. side.

 

The Iranian lawmaker also linked the recent visit of Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf to Qatar to ongoing diplomatic efforts surrounding the negotiations and the release of Iran’s frozen financial assets abroad. According to him, assessments regarding the potential unfreezing of those assets have been positive.

 

At the same time, Maleki expressed concern over what he described as the unpredictability of former U.S. President Donald Trump and Washington’s history of failing to uphold commitments.

 

“While negotiations are being pursued seriously, the Americans continue certain actions, including interference with Iranian vessels and boats, which is unacceptable,” he said, adding that Iran has responded firmly to such incidents.

 

Maleki also highlighted the growing role of regional countries in facilitating the talks, saying that Qatar and Oman have now joined Pakistan in supporting the negotiation process.

 

He praised Pakistan’s active role so far and said the involvement of Doha and Muscat could further help advance the talks. According to Maleki, many countries in the region and beyond are determined to stand against what he called excessive pressure and demands from the United States.
