Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf posted on social media on
July 8 accusing the United States of five serious breaches of an Iran‑US
memorandum of understanding: undermining arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz;
ongoing threats of further strikes on Iran; reinstating oil sanctions; attacks
on southern Iran; and Israel’s continued aggression in Lebanon. Ghalibaf wrote,
"The era of bullying and extortion is over. This road won't work. We will not
yield." Earlier US forces struck southern Iran.
