Iran has declared that it will never surrender to the United States and is fully prepared to defend itself if Washington withdraws from the memorandum of understanding between the two countries. The warning came from Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator and speaker of parliament, who emphasized Tehran’s readiness for complete defense in case of any U.S. breach.

Ghalibaf stated that Iran has never stopped preparing to protect its nation and that ending wars should be a global priority. However, he stressed that the current conflict would not end through Iran’s surrender. His remarks followed a social media post by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed that Tehran and Washington had agreed to continue talks but that their ceasefire period had expired.

The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between the two nations, with Iran signaling its determination to maintain sovereignty and defensive capability amid uncertainty over the future of the agreement.
