Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Iran would answer with the "language of power" if its adversaries ignored "the language of logic," adding that the country's "finger is on the trigger."
The warning came after Donald Trump said the United States would "bomb the hell" out of Iran if Tehran failed to stick to the terms of their deal.
Ghalibaf, Iran's parliamentary speaker and top negotiator on the agreement, said even a final peace deal would remain "not trustworthy," underscoring Tehran's continued distrust of Washington.
The exchange highlights how quickly military threats are resurfacing around an agreement that Ghalibaf himself had helped strike with the Trump administration.
