Iran’s Parliament Speaker Baqer Qalibaf has reaffirmed his commitment to those killed in the “unprovoked American-Israeli aggression” as he arrived in Switzerland for talks on implementing a Pakistan-mediated memorandum with the US.

In a post on X, Qalibaf said he reached Zurich to pursue implementation of commitments under the agreement aimed at ending the cycle of conflict following recent hostilities.

“I regard the innocent children of Minab and all the martyrs of our beloved Iran as constant witnesses to my actions and conduct,” he said, referring to a southern Iranian city where 168 people, mostly school children, were killed in a US attack on February 28.

“They see us and have expectations of us,” he stated, adding, “God willing, I will not be ashamed before the innocent martyrs and the people of Iran.”

Qalibaf’s delegation, which has been named “Minab 168” in reference to the victims, arrived in Zurich for discussions on how to implement obligations agreed between Iran and the United States.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also part of the delegation.

Ahead of the visit, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the trip should not be viewed as a new round of negotiations toward a final deal, but rather as a focus on ensuring compliance with existing commitments.

He said implementation of the memorandum’s key provisions must begin before broader talks on a final agreement can proceed, adding that this stage had not yet been reached.

Baghaei also expressed concern over continued Israeli military activity in Lebanon, saying it undermined the memorandum’s first clause calling for a cessation of hostilities across all fronts, including Lebanon.
