Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, one of Iran's lead negotiators, posted that 'wrong strategies and impulsive decisions will reset the entire board for the worse, explode energy infrastructure and markets and create an endless quagmire that you will be stuck in for years. You will see a different Iran.'

The warning answered Trump's threat that morning to seize Kharg Island and hit Iran 'very hard'.
