Iran has reiterated its demand for the United States and Israel to fully implement the ceasefire memorandum of understanding (MOU).

On July 3, local time, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Chairman of the Iranian Parliament, stated during a meeting with Igor Sergeyenko, the Speaker of the Belarusian House of Representatives, who was visiting to pay respects at the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that "we will strongly demand the complete implementation of the agreement" and warned, "If the United States and the Zionist regime (Israel) fail to fulfill their promises, Iran will resume corresponding measures."

Ghalibaf claimed, "The U.S. has realized that it cannot militarily subdue Iran," adding that despite extensive efforts to achieve its goals, the U.S. ultimately requested a ceasefire.

He also noted that the U.S. attempted to draw NATO and its allies into the conflict, but that effort also failed.

Furthermore, Ghalibaf asserted, "The U.S. claimed to have destroyed Iran's missile capabilities, yet we can still see Iranian missiles hitting their targets," emphasizing that both allies and adversaries recognize this reality as evidence of America's defeat.

Additionally, Ghalibaf mentioned, "We have begun to build close relationships with regional countries," stating that cooperation with neighboring nations is helping to block U.S. intervention in the region.
