Parliament Media Center chief describes Qalibaf's four meetings

Story summary
Iman Shamsai, head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly's Center for Communications, Media and Cultural Affairs, revealed in a series of posts on the social network X details of four meetings held by Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Parliament, in a single day, and published details of domestic and international reactions to a memorandum of understanding that Qalibaf had concluded. According to this account, representatives of countries belonging to the "Resistance Front" took positions in their meetings with Qalibaf that differed from some domestic critics. Through this public disclosure, Shamsai attempted to present a picture of the dual internal and external reactions to this memorandum of understanding.
- Iman Shamsai published the content of this account through a thread of posts on the social network X.
- The main subject of the report is four separate meetings held by Qalibaf in one day, which Shamsai narrated.
- One of the main focal points of these meetings is a memorandum of understanding that Qalibaf concluded, with the positions of different parties regarding it being discussed.
- According to Shamsai's account, representatives of countries or movements referred to as the "Resistance Front" took a positive or supportive stance toward this memorandum of understanding in their meeting with Qalibaf.
- In contrast, "some people inside" — in Shamsai's words — adopted a different and presumably critical stance regarding the same memorandum of understanding.
- Shamsai wrote on X: "In the oppression of the Islamic Revolution it is enough that representatives[...]" — this sentence was reported incompletely in available sources and its continuation was not included in media coverage.
- None of the four media outlets providing coverage offered details about the nature, subject, or parties to the memorandum of understanding.
- The names of countries or representatives who met with Qalibaf are not mentioned in any of the available sources.
- No official reaction from Qalibaf or the Speaker's office was reported in any of the four coverage instances.
- This news is based on statements from a parliamentary media official, and independent verification or denial by other institutions is not present in available sources.. Coverage difference: All four media outlets (Entekhaab, IRNA, Entekhaab Telegram, and Khabaronline) used nearly identical headlines and no notable content differences are evident among them; however, only Khabaronline quoted a portion of Shamsai's direct post ("In the oppression of the Islamic Revolution it is enough that...") — albeit incompletely — while IRNA and Entekhaab merely introduced Shamsai and referred to the post thread. None of the outlets provided independent analysis, competing narratives, or opposing sources, and coverage by all of them amounts to repeating the account of one parliamentary official.
