Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf Says Iran Will Not Negotiate With the United States

Qalibaf said reports about possible talks were false news and accused them of influencing financial and oil markets.

Fact Check
The statement accurately reflects official remarks made by Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf on March 23, 2026. Multiple sources (BlockBeats, NY Post context) confirm that he denied ongoing negotiations with the US and characterized reports of such talks as 'fake news' aimed at market manipulation. This denial followed reports that the US was attempting to engage with him as a primary leader after the escalation of conflict earlier that month.
