Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has declared that the country will not engage in negotiations under any form of threat. In a social media post, he sharply criticized former U.S. President Donald Trump’s policy, accusing him of using sanctions and ceasefire violations to turn the negotiation table into a platform for coercion and surrender.

Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran rejects discussions conducted under pressure and hinted that new strategies and capabilities have been prepared on the battlefield over the past two weeks. His remarks came amid heightened tensions surrounding U.S.-Iran peace discussions, with reports also noting China’s support for Pakistan’s role in the dialogue and a drop in global oil prices following related news.

The statements underscore Iran’s firm stance against perceived U.S. pressure tactics and suggest that Tehran may be preparing for both diplomatic and strategic responses in the near term.
