Iranian MP criticizes parliament media over leaked draft on Iran-US talks
Meisam Zohurian, an Iranian lawmaker, said on Friday a text published by the official media outlet of Iran’s parliament on a reported Iran-US agreement draft was “irresponsible” on multiple grounds.
"First, the text includes incorrect claims, such as the recognition of enrichment or the payment of Iran's funds at the outset of the agreement,which are not present in the actual textand effectivelycreate a public perception of the text that will lead to dissatisfaction once the main text is released,"he posted on X.
"Second,its publication prompted objections from the opposing side, resulting in the denial by Iran's Foreign Minister, which Trump interpreted as an apology from Iran," Zohurian added. @MeisamZohurian) June 12, 2026
