The Oslo Accords were negotiated in secret to prevent outside interference.
In 1993, Israeli and PLO negotiators met covertly in Norway for 14 rounds of talks, keeping them hidden from hardliners on both sides — and from Iran, which openly opposed any Israel-Palestinian peace deal and backed rejectionist factions.

Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf lost Iranian presidential bids in 2005, 2013, 2017, and 2021. A former IRGC commander and 12-year Tehran mayor, he became Parliament Speaker in 2020 — now finalising $12B in frozen asset releases.
