Iran’s parliament speaker has warned that Tehran will reveal “new cards” if fighting with the United States and Israel resumes, two days before a ceasefire deadline expires.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a post on X: “We do not accept negotiating under threat. Over the past two weeks, we have been preparing to reveal new cards on the battlefield.”

Ghalibaf, who also serves as Iran’s chief negotiator, added that US President Donald Trump “is seeking to turn the negotiating table into a table of surrender”.

Separately, an Iranian official, speaking anonymously to The Washington Post, said that Trump’s public rhetoric and the ongoing US blockade are the most dangerous factors threatening the talks.

The official added that Washington and Tehran have largely agreed on the broad outlines of a deal, but described Trump’s “hardline public tone” as risking undermining diplomatic progress.

Earlier on Monday, Trump said on his platform Truth Social that the United States would not lift its blockade on Iranian ports unless an agreement is reached with Tehran.

He wrote: “THE BLOCKADE, which we will not take off until there is a ‘DEAL,’ is absolutely destroying Iran.” “They are losing $500 Million Dollars a day, an unsustainable number, even in the short run.”
