Ghalibaf warns Trump on X, Iran 'prepared to reveal new battlefield cards'
Fox News ^ | 4/21/26 | Emma Bussey

Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sent a direct warning to President Donald Trump Monday on X, saying that Iran will not accept negotiations with the U.S. while under threat.

"Trump, by imposing a blockade and violating the ceasefire, seeks, in his view, to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering," he said.

"We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threat, and over the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," Ghalibaf added.

Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation in talks with Vice President J.D. Vance in Islamabad, Pakistan, on April 11.

Bad timing. Power stations should evacuate. And don't get stuck on a bridge.

I hope for Irans sake the battlefield cards can stop the US military from completely and utterly destroying the infrastructure of Iran. Otherwise they are going to think that 3rd world nations are advanced soon. Roads, bridges, power stations, dams, water facilities, government buildings, oil pipelines, pumping stations, electrical transformers. The Iranian people should just start fleeing now to the neighboring nations that Iran hasn’t bombed.

I would be very tempted to destroy Kharg Island.

That is where they write ALL the IRGC and Ayatollah pay checks.

He has it backwards. It's he who wants to turn the surrender into a negotiation.

I think we should start with the mosques. That’s probably where a lot of weapons are hidden.

According to CNN...

Trump has extended his deadline until Wednesday - 24 hours.

Just a head line story now - no text.

Dear Mr. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf,

Thank you for letting us know who you and the rest of the hardliners in charge are. Have your affairs in order. Our new battlefield weapon will simply be to eliminate you and start over with the next group.

Love,

Reality.

zeestephen: "I would be very tempted to destroy Kharg Island.

But... there's no need to destroy Kharg Island.

There's no need even to occupy it with "boots on the ground"

The only thing needed is a blockade -- no ships leave Kharg Island, no Iranian ships leave Iranian waters.

No Iran exports, no paychecks until Trump's peace deal is signed & implemented.
Then Kharg Island is unblocked and life can begin to return to normal in Iran...

SEC. 3. The President in every possible instance shall consult with Congress
before introducing United States Armed Forces into hostilities
or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances,
and after every such introduction shall consult regularly with the Congress
until United States Armed Forces are no longer engaged in hostilities or have been removed from such situations.

REPORTING

SEC. 4. (a) In the absence of a declaration of war, in any case in which United States Armed Forces are introduced—
(1) into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances;
(2) into the territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation, while equipped for combat, except for deployments which relate
solely to supply, replacement, repair, or training of such forces; or
(3) in numbers which substantially enlarge United States Armed Forces equipped for combat already located in a foreign nation;
the President shall submit within 48 hours to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to the President pro tempore of the Senate a report, in writing, setting forth—
(A) the circumstances necessitating the introduction of United States Armed Forces;
(B) the constitutional and legislative authority under which such introduction took place; and
(C) the estimated scope and duration of the hostilities or involvement.

(b) Within sixty calendar days after a report is submitted or is required to be submitted pursuant to section 4 ( a ) ( 1 ) , whichever is earlier, the President shall terminate any use of United States Armed Forces with respect to which such report was submitted (or required to be submitted), unless the Congress
(1) has declared war or has enacted a specific authorization for such use of United States Armed Forces,
(2) has extended by law such sixty-day period, or
(3) is physically unable to meet as a result of an armed attack upon the United States.

Such sixty-day period shall be extended for not more than an additional thirty days
if the President determines and certifies to the Congress in writing
that unavoidable military necessity respecting the safety of United States Armed Forces
requires the continued use of such armed forces in the course of bringing about a prompt removal of such forces.
