Iran ‘Will Not Bow to Any Threats’, Ghalibaf Declares

Ghalibaf said Iran will not yield as Trump threatened a blockade and strikes on energy sites after talks ended without a deal.

  • On Monday, Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that recent threats from US President Donald Trump have "no effect on the Iranian nation," while signaling cautious progress in ongoing engagements between Iran and the United States.
  • President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz after peace talks in Islamabad failed to secure a deal, with officials citing Iran's refusal to surrender its nuclear ambitions.
  • Trump threatened to target Iran's energy infrastructure, prompting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to warn that any approach to the Strait of Hormuz violates a two-week ceasefire and will be dealt with "harshly and decisively."
  • Ghalibaf reiterated that Iran presented "very good initiatives" during dialogue, warning that if the United States chooses to fight, "we will fight," but if they come forward with logic, Iran will respond accordingly.
  • Vice President JD Vance recently warned that Washington had provided Tehran its "final and best offer," while Trump argues that his hardline messaging was the primary catalyst for bringing Iran to the bargaining table.
