The U.S.-Iran Memorandum of Understanding was “a declaration of America’s defeat,” Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Wednesday.
Iran’s armed forces imposed “heavy costs on the United States and the so-called Israeli regime” during the 110-day war, Ghalibaf told a meeting of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Baku, Azerbaijan, Tehran’s IRNA news agency reported.
The Islamic Republic forced Washington to “retreat both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table,” Tehran’s top negotiator claimed.
Ghalibaf told attendees that Iran defined the retreat of American forces from the Middle East as a “strategic objective” and denounced Washington’s presence in the region as a “source of instability.”
The parliament speaker in his remarks extended the regime’s “hand of brotherhood and cooperation to all Islamic countries.”
“For us, a ceasefire in Lebanon is as important as a ceasefire in Iran, and ending the war in Lebanon is as important as ending the war in Iran,” Ghalibaf stated. He also defended Palestinian terrorism as “an expression of a nation’s legitimate resistance in the face of occupation.”
Ghalibaf said that “the experience of the past eighty years” showed that no lasting security in the region could be achieved without a “just resolution” of the Palestinian issue.
Iran remains ready to pursue security agreements with regional countries, including Gulf states, in addition to economic cooperation, he added.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday night claimed that he had Iran “ready to go down for the fall” and “willing to give us practically anything,” as he slammed the Senate for passing a war powers resolution directing him to remove American military forces from the conflict with Tehran.
The resolution conveyed to “the number one sponser [sic] of terror in the world that the United States doesn’t like what I am doing to them, and I must stop,” according to the president.
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said he lifted the U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports after the regime agreed to open its nuclear facilities to inspections and made other “major concessions.”
“However, all ships are remaining in place should it be necessary to reinstitute the blockade, which seems, at this point, highly unlikely,” he wrote on Truth Social.
Trump’s statement came after Ghalibaf vowed that conditions in the Strait of Hormuz “will never go back to the way they were before the war.”
“Of course, international regulations will be observed, but Iran will administer the Strait of Hormuz,” Ghalibaf told Iranian media as he returned from talks with U.S. representatives in Switzerland.
While the MoU calls for the immediate reopening of the strait to commercial shipping, Tehran reopened the strategic waterway “according to its own terms and timeline,” the negotiator claimed.
“This is the power of the Islamic Republic,” Ghalibaf said. “We forced Trump to amend the tweet he had published. This is the result of combining our hard and soft power.”

Spike the well in Qom and declare Shia Islam to be haram....
Well what do you want the schmuck to say LOL
Either way, this is about getting the gas lowered so it helps Trumps chances in November..once we God willing keep both houses, the bombings can begin again
Blah...blah...blah
Don’t trust any MOU with those muslim monsters, they always lie and kill. The only lasting peace will be to kill all of the muslim terrorists in Iran and Lebanon.
Oil now below $70/bbl.
JD Vance dreadful deal.
Not to worry.
There is no way in Hell Netanyahu will allow the war to end.
Restart airstrikes, eliminate Iran parliament.... remaining military outbound threats and targets
And pay attention, outlaw IRGC, establish bounty payout fund, using sales of their oil, for IRGC leadership, dead or alive, subject to verification by Israel intelligence.
Start auction process to Arab states for all Iran and IRGC land, bases, assets and military equipment....
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Heck of a job, JD!
“Ghalibaf told Iranian media “
What a load of BS. What else is going to say to the Iran’s controlled media. If Trump holds Congress this a-hole will be among the first to go
The USA hasn’t won until the Islamic Republic regime is no more.
Stop clutching your pearls so tight. I’m surprised how many people are so slow to let things pan out. Trump is undefeated on foreign policy.
If this deal is so bad for us and good for them, why are they talking about breaking it?
You’d think they’d be rushing to sign it. Not leaving in disappointment and arguing about it.
“the experience of the past eighty years” showed that no lasting security in the region could be achieved without a “just resolution” of the Palestinian issue.
Okay Sir, recognize Israel.
