The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament said that he would not surrender and that if the United States were to “underbelief” it would be fully defensive

The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Kalibaf, stated that Iran had never sought war, but would never yield to external pressure. According to Kalibaf, prior to the recent outbreak of conflict, the United States, Israel and NATO believed that Iran could be forced to surrender within days, but ultimately failed to achieve its goal. He stated that the United States had sought a ceasefire because of economic, political and public pressure. He emphasized that Iran did not trust the United States and that it was only when it was ready for war that it was eligible to negotiate with the United States. If the United States “renounces the memorandum of understanding between the two sides”, Iran will be ready for “full defence” and will firmly defend its national interests. Kalibaf said that the international community wanted an end to the war, but anyone should know that the conflict would not end with Iran ' s surrender。
