According to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, the Iranian delegation scheduled to hold talks with the United States that day comprised 71 members, including the core negotiation team, expert teams, media representatives, as well as protocol and security personnel. The Iranian delegation was led by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Iranian Parliament). Other members included Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Central Bank Governor Abdolnasser Hemmati, and Secretary of the Defense Commission Ali Akbar Ahmadian. Also part of the delegation were Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Nasser Kanaani, Deputy Director for Foreign Policy at the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council Ali Bagheri Kani, Member of Parliament Seyyed Mahmoud Nabaviyan, International Affairs Advisor to the Parliament Speaker Abolfazl Amouei, and Strategic Advisor to the Parliament Speaker Mehdi Mohammadi. Given the high complexity and sensitivity of the negotiations, Iran deployed technical and expert committees in addition to its core negotiating personnel. Moreover, the U.S. delegation totaled 300 people, a significant portion of whom belonged to security, protective, and protocol teams. (Xinhua News Agency)
