Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian called for changes to Tehran’s negotiating team, saying officials involved in previous failed talks with Washington were also taking part in the current negotiations.

In a post on X, Nabavian blamed what he described as a lack of diligence and misplaced optimism toward the United States for costly outcomes in earlier negotiations.

He urged the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council to reconsider the team’s membership given the sensitivity of the current situation.

Nabavian did not name the negotiators he wanted replaced or propose alternatives.
