Iranian chief negotiator Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran is obtaining "concessions not through talks, but through missiles," that "negotiations are only for making them understand those concessions," and that Tehran has "absolutely no trust in guarantees or words - only actions matter." A maximally hawkish public framing of the negotiation from Iran's own lead negotiator, published while the memorandum sits pending Trump's signature - the kinetic tail stays explicitly live on the Iranian side regardless of the deal track.
