Iranian Parliament Speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a stark warning to Washington, declaring that Iran is ready for “total defense” if the United States betrays the ceasefire memorandum signed last month.
“Only those who are prepared for war can negotiate with the United States,” Ghalibaf said during a meeting with his Indonesian counterpart on Friday. He also stated that he had directly informed US Vice President JD Vance during negotiations that Tehran does not trust Washington.

“We have never stopped preparing to defend our country, and at any moment the Americans betray the memorandum, we will be ready for total defense,” Ghalibaf said, according to remarks posted on his Telegram account.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for restraint following the recent exchanges of fire between Iran and the United States, saying the US and Israel should refrain from actions that could further aggravate the situation.
The US renewed strikes on Iran this week. The US Central Command said the attacks were conducted in response to what it described as Iranian actions against commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian forces responded with strikes on US bases in Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan.
