Who is Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the key negotiator behind US-Iran peace deal? | Today News
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif early Monday morning announced the conclusion of peace negotiations between Iran and US, pending the official signing of the deal in Switzerland on Friday, 19 June. A pillar of the Iranian establishment for some three decades and one of its most prominent non-clerical figures, Ghalibaf, 64, had spearheaded the war effort and led the high-stakes negotiating process that culminated with an agreement announced Monday to halt the hostilities. Ghalibaf survived more than five weeks of US-Israeli attacks on Iran that killed supreme leader Ali Khamenei, top security official Ali Larijani and a host of other key figures.
