• Iran's hardline parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned Tehran would not honor its commitments under a U.S. memorandum if Washington fails to uphold its side.
• Ghalibaf, a key negotiator and former IRGC commander, has a history of threatening U.S. forces and is linked to corruption allegations.
