🔺 Iran’s parliament speaker mocks Trump’s shifting threats as “theater diplomacy on loop”
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament and chief negotiator with US, ridiculed the US approach in a post on X: “Massive attack coming… wait, never mind, they want to negotiate. That’s theater diplomacy on loop.”
He called using “bullying + broken promises + fake news as leverage” a “failed strategy,” and added: “We don’t need more theater.” The remarks came a few days after Trump said he called off planned strikes on Iran for at least the fifth time since first agreeing to a ceasefire.
“Massive attack coming… wait, never mind, they want to negotiate.”
That’s theater diplomacy on loop.
Using bullying + broken promises + fake news as leverage is a failed strategy.
Acknowledge the facts and fulfill your commitments. We don’t need more theater.

Addressing the Civilized and Courageous Nation of Iran with derogatory language does not diminish its Greatness.
Iranians are known for their civility, culture, and strong moral values. We do not answer vulgarity with vulgarity, but with action: fearlessly and with great valor.
در تاریخ، جنوب ایران همواره نماد مقاومت در برابر استعمار و پاسداری از استقلال بوده است. امروز نیز مردم نجیب این دیار با صبوری، ایستادگی و پایمردی، روزهای سخت ناشی از تجاوز دشمن را با عزت پشت سر میگذارند. در کنار و قدردان این مردم وفادار و مقاوم هستم.
همه جای ایران، سرای من است.
We will not, under any circumstances, allow the United States to interfere in the management of the Strait of Hormuz not now, and not at any other time.
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.
Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair
Management of the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its pre-war status and remains in the hands of the Islamic Republic, Hassan Ghashghavi, a member of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, said on Sunday.
جا دارد از حضور دهها میلیونی، اعجاببرانگیز، دشمنشکن و تاریخی مردم در شهرها و روستاهای ایران و عراق خصوصاً تهران، قم، نجف، کربلا، و مشهد صمیمانه قدردانی کنم.
Major MOU Violations by the US:
Violating Iranian adjustments in the Strait
Persistent threats of further strikes
Reinstating oil sanctions
Attacks on southern Iran
Continued Zionist aggression on🇱🇧
The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere. We don’t fold.
The U.S. government's conduct as World Cup host follows its familiar foreign policy: bending rules, bullying rivals, creating obstacles, and cheating. This is their MAGA playbook. Iran rejects such games. We stand firmly for our rights.
This is only a fraction of the millions at this morning's prayers for the martyr Ayatollah Khamenei and his family members. I left home almost 3 hours early, but like hundreds of thousands south of the complex, I never made it in - and that crowd isn't even in this shot.
