‼️After 3 key violations of agreed framework, ceasefire and negotiations are meaningless: Ghalibaf

🔹 Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that three key clauses of Iran's 10-point framework – the agreed basis for talks – have been violated by the US before negotiations even began.

🔹 Violations include: no Lebanon ceasefire, an aggressive drone entering Iranian airspace (downed over Lar), and denial of Iran's right to enrichment.

🔹 "The very foundational framework for negotiations has had three key clauses openly violated," Ghalibaf said.

Failure to condemn attacks on Iran’s heritage makes the world complicit, Italian archaeologist warns

In an exclusive interview, Professor Pierfrancesco Callieri, a renowned Italian archaeologist and expert in Iranian heritage, warns that the international community's failure to condemn attacks on Iran's cultural sites makes it complicit in war crimes.

The professor confirms that recent US and Israeli strikes have damaged UNESCO-listed sites, including Golestan Palace and Naqsh-e Jahan Square. He argues the targeting of historic Persian capitals is a deliberate psychological warfare strategy, recalling Donald Trump’s 2020 threat to destroy 52 Iranian cultural sites.

Such acts, Callieri states, violate the 1954 Hague Convention and the 1972 Paris Protocol. He criticizes the US and Israel for placing themselves “outside the bounds of civilized norms,” urging organizations like UNESCO to take both technical and political action.

While noting Iran’s high restoration standards, he says repairs are extremely costly and compete with humanitarian needs.

Callieri has formally urged his university to issue a condemnation and express solidarity with Iranians, who must defend their lives, culture, and 29 World Heritage sites. “If we fail to act,” he concludes, “we will be complicit in this crime.”
