EXCLUSIVE

Iran negotiating team head Ghalibaf quits

Apr 24, 2026, 13:49 GMT+1Updated: 16:06 GMT+1

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Iran’s negotiating team with the United States, has stepped down amid internal disagreements, sources familiar with the matter told Iran International.

Ghalibaf was reprimanded for attempting to include the nuclear issue in talks with Washington and was forced to resign, according to the sources.

A possible shake-up has been floated, with hardline politician Saeed Jalili potentially replacing Ghalibaf as head of the negotiating team.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also seeking to take over the negotiations, sources said.
