00:20This is a direct warning, and it's coming from the top of Iran's political leadership.
00:26Iran's parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has issued a blunt message to Donald Trump.
00:38An explosive statement after high-stakes talks between the U.S. and Iran collapsed.
00:45Speaking after returning from Islamabad, Ghalibaf made one thing clear.
00:51Iran will not bend to pressure.
00:53Not military, not economic, not political.
00:58He said this has been proven since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and nothing has changed."
01:05The talks in Pakistan, lasting over 21 hours, were meant to de-escalate tensions.
01:13Instead, they ended in deadlock.
01:16Iran blaming the U.S. for what it calls excessive demands.
01:21The U.S. saying Iran refused key conditions.
01:24But Ghalibaf's message goes beyond the talks.
01:28It's about posture and power.
01:31If you go to war, we will fight you.
01:34If you come with logic, we will respond with logic.
01:37That's the line Iran is drawing.
01:40A dual approach.
01:42Confrontation met with confrontation.
01:44Diplomacy met with diplomacy.
01:46But there's also a deeper accusation.
01:50Ghalibaf says the United States owes a debt to Iran and must rebuild trust, because, according
01:57to Tehran, that trust has been broken repeatedly.
02:01He pointed to what he described as a long history of U.S. actions, including recent military
02:08strikes during ongoing negotiations, calling it a pattern that makes diplomacy difficult.
02:15And then a key phrase, a 77-year wall of mistrust, that he says Washington must break if it wants
02:24any real progress.
02:26Inside Iran, the leadership is also pointing to something else, public support.
02:31Mass rallies across the country, backing the government during the conflict.
02:36Ghalibaf says this strengthened Iran's position at the negotiating table.
02:41And now, with talks over, Tehran is signaling confidence, saying it will continue forward,
02:48relying on its own capabilities, with or without a deal.
02:52So where does this leave things?
02:55A failed negotiation, a fragile ceasefire, and rising rhetoric.
03:00Because this is no longer just about diplomacy.
03:03It's about deterrence.
03:05Iran is sending a clear message.
03:08It will not back down.
03:10And if challenged, it is ready to escalate.
