Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, warned the United States against threats. He stated that wrong strategies and hasty decisions would disrupt equations, destroy energy infrastructure and markets, and create a years-long quagmire. Qalibaf added that they would see a different Iran.

The comments came after Donald Trump spoke of intensified attacks on Iran, including targeting its oil and gas facilities such as Kharg Island.

Reliability assessment

Single source provides direct, on-record attribution with named public figure (Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf), specific quotes, and concrete context (Trump's statements on Kharg Island).

The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. RTA: "wrong strategies and hasty decisions will change all equations in the worst way", "blow up infrastructure and energy markets", "endless quagmire" - these phrases use strong negative framing and hyperbolic warnings to portray U.S. actions as reckless and disastrous.
