Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf accused Washington of breaching multiple provisions of the memorandum with Tehran, declaring that the era of “bullying and extortion” is over.
In a post on X, Qalibaf listed US violations, including interference in Iran’s adjustments related to the Strait of Hormuz, continued threats of further strikes, the reinstatement of sanctions on Iranian oil, attacks on southern Iran, and continued “Israeli” aggression against Lebanon.
“The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere. We don’t fold,” Qalibaf wrote.
His remarks came amid a sharp escalation following US attacks on Iran, which prompted Iranian authorities to warn of a response and reject any foreign interference in the affairs of the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian official’s comments followed US strikes on southern Iran, with the US Central Command [CENTCOM] announcing that it had carried out a series of attacks against Iranian targets.
