Background
Iran's Parliament national security and Foreign Policy committee is the principal body through which the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis) articulates positions on military and diplomatic affairs. During the April 2026 Ceasefire negotiations, Ebrahim Rezaei, the committee's spokesman, stated that Tehran would not agree to extend the Ceasefire unless the extension included Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.
The committee's statements carry political weight domestically, setting the floor for what Iran's negotiating team can credibly concede. However, ultimate authority over negotiations rests with the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) and the Supreme Leader's office; the committee's role is to frame parliamentary consensus and signal to mediators the limits of the politically achievable.
The committee has been active in signalling that Hormuz control and uranium retention are non-negotiable from a parliamentary standpoint, even as regional mediators reported progress on a two-week Ceasefire extension. The gap between parliamentary maximalism and diplomatic flexibility reflects the competing centres of power within Iran's political system.
