TL;DR

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf warned that if the enemy fails to understand the language of reason, Tehran will respond with the language of force. He also stated that Article 6 of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding allocates $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and development, and claimed the MoU is 'a record of America's defeat.'

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a firm statement Wednesday night in which he framed the emerging US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding as a victory for Tehran. 'If the enemy does not understand the language of reason, we will deal with it in the language of force,' Ghalibaf said, offering a veiled threat of military escalation. He also highlighted that Article 6 of the MoU allocates $300 billion for Iran's reconstruction and economic development, and accused the United Nations of failing to issue even a single statement declaring America an aggressor. Ghalibaf's remarks align with the Iranian leadership's public narrative that the MoU — a 14-point framework that reportedly includes sanctions relief, a $300 billion fund, and de-escalation across all fronts — represents an American retreat. As The Zioneer reported over the past week, the full text of the MoU was published Wednesday, detailing an immediate end to hostilities on all fronts, the lifting of sanctions and the naval blockade, and the establishment of a reconstruction fund for Iran. The speaker's statement comes amid ongoing debate in Washington, where critics including former Vice President Mike Pence have condemned the framework as appeasement that lacks requirements for Iran to dismantle its nuclear or ballistic missile programs.
