Iranian parliamentary speaker and chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has rejected US efforts to increase pressure on Tehran, saying Washington is mistaken in believing that tougher measures will secure additional concessions.
In a post on X, Ghalibaf said, “Americans think squeezing Iran harder will win concessions that were never part of the agreement.”
Ghalibaf also criticized US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying they were “way out of their league.”
“Stop waiting for the clown crew to pull a rabbit out of their hat and clean up the mess you made,” he added.
His comments come amid continued tensions between Washington and Tehran over negotiations and the terms of any potential agreement.
