Iran has declared that it has successfully rebuilt its military capabilities during the ceasefire period, issuing a stern warning to the United States. Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's chief negotiator and Parliament Speaker, stated that the armed forces have strengthened themselves and will not compromise on national rights. He cautioned that if former President Donald Trump resumes hostilities, the consequences for the US would be severe, potentially worse than previous conflicts. Ghalibaf accused the US of violating the ceasefire agreement by imposing a naval blockade while negotiations were ongoing. During discussions with Asim Munir, Commander of the Pakistani Army, Ghalibaf emphasized the importance of pursuing Iran's rights through both military and diplomatic means. Munir expressed support for Iran and highlighted the need for diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region. Despite the aggressive rhetoric, analysts suggest that both sides may be realizing the need for serious negotiations as exhaustion sets in. The ongoing ceasefire has not yet led to the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which remains a critical maritime route facing ongoing threats.
