Iranian officials fear proposed US ceasefire negotiations may be a trap aimed at targeting senior leaders, reflecting deep mistrust amid ongoing tensions.
Iranian officials are reportedly wary of entering ceasefire negotiations with the United States, fearing the talks could be a trap to target senior leaders. Concerns centre around the safety of key figures, including parliamentary speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, who is seen as a crucial figure in any potential peace discussions.
According to reports, Iranian authorities suspect that proposed face-to-face meetings with the US and Israel could be used to lure top officials into vulnerable situations. The concerns come amid ongoing tensions following military strikes, with Tehran increasingly cautious about diplomatic engagements.
Officials also expressed doubts about assurances from Donald Trump, suggesting that delays in planned strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure may be strategic rather than conciliatory. The development highlights deep mistrust as efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict remain uncertain.
