Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran's Parliament and chief negotiator in recent talks with the United States, threatened a “crushing response” in the event of any “bad faith” in implementing the recent memorandum of understanding.
In a post on X, Ghalibaf stated: "We are at the command [of the Supreme Leader] and will pursue the realization of the conditions and clauses of the understanding."
He added that in the event of "bad faith, treaty-breaking, or excessive demands" by the other side, Iran would have "no hesitation in delivering a crushing response to the enemy."
“They were once slapped during the war; if they wish to tread that path again, they will receive an even harder slap,” Ghalibaf added.
The comments come after the signing of an interim agreement aimed at ending months of hostilities between Iran and the US.
The deal reportedly includes a ceasefire, provisions on the Strait of Hormuz, phased sanctions relief, and steps toward a longer-term framework.
Ghalibaf has previously described the agreement as a "record of US failure," claiming Iran negotiated from a position of strength following military rebuilding during the ceasefire period.
Iranian officials, including Ghalibaf, have repeatedly stressed vigilance over US compliance, accusing Washington and ‘Israel’ of potential violations in related theaters such as Lebanon.
