The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bajar Ghalibaf, on the ongoing mediation efforts between Iran and the US:
"Among the mediators currently involved, Qatar and Pakistan are the two countries that officially mediate between us and the Americans. Other countries and people are also trying to help bring the two sides closer together.
At the last meeting there was agreement on all sides that this discussion should take place. But in the end, Americans must make the decision. The ball is in their court. Whenever they agree to the proposed seven points, we are fully prepared. There was even talk of completing the process in seven days, when these steps are expected to be completed in just two days. There is a readiness for this to happen, and some regional countries are also following the matter. ".
