Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of Parliament and senior negotiator with the United States, says that dialogue with the U.S. was halted following the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in an Israeli attack in southern Beirut.

According to Iranian media, Mr. Qalibaf stated: "In the last attack they carried out in Dahieh, where the head of Hezbollah's intelligence was martyred along with his family, we stopped everything right there. We said that tonight we would strike you this way and that way, and if the Zionist regime responds, we will strike the entire region."

According to Iran's senior negotiator, "that very night they lifted the siege, not 30 days after the agreement, that night. Trump tweeted and said we are lifting it tonight. He also wrote underneath that of course the Iranians will also open the Strait of Hormuz. When I saw this, I stopped him and said we have no such agreement."

"I told the mediators that if this tweet is not removed right now, we will strike with the intensity I mentioned. 58 minutes later, Trump removed the second part and wrote that the strait will open within the framework of the agreement starting Saturday."

"This negotiation means fighting."
