Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated on Tuesday that Tehran would not engage in talks with Washington while facing threats.

In a post on X, he criticised US President Donald Trump, accusing him of acting under “delusions” regarding the nature of negotiations.

Qalibaf’s comments follow allegations by Iran of repeated US violations of a ceasefire agreement reached two weeks ago.

These include the imposition of a naval blockade of Iranian ports and the seizure of an Iranian merchant vessel by the US forces in the Sea of Oman.

Qalibaf said that Washington’s actions were aimed at turning negotiations into what he described as a “table of surrender” or providing justification for renewed conflict.

Qalibaf emphasised that such pressure tactics would not succeed, reiterating that Tehran refuses to negotiate under intimidation.

The parliament speaker indicated that Iran has been preparing additional measures in response to recent developments, suggesting the possibility of escalation if tensions persist.

The remarks come as uncertainty persists over the next round of US-Iran talks in Islamabad following the seizure of an Iranian cargo ship by the US navy.
