Iranian hardliners are calling for sustained attacks against Israel, characterizing a potential Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the United States as a deceptive maneuver. They argue that the US is merely seeking to de-escalate the situation temporarily.

Trump's deception is highly likely. He only wants to calm the situation right now.

Ebrahim Rezaei, a spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated on social media platform X that "Trump's deception is highly likely" and that "he only wants to calm the situation right now." Rezaei, a member of the hardline faction Jebhe-ye Paydari (Steadfastness Front), which has opposed negotiations throughout the process, urged Iran to "attack more strongly and destroy the enemy's infrastructure, economic centers, and regional artificial intelligence (AI) facilities." He added, "Make the opponent feel greater pain."

Iran must attack more strongly and destroy the enemy's infrastructure, economic centers, and regional artificial intelligence (AI) facilities. Make the opponent feel greater pain.

In a separate post, Rezaei issued a direct threat to the United States, warning, "If you come to Kark Island, you will not return alive." This aggressive stance from Iranian hardliners contrasts with any perceived diplomatic overtures, emphasizing a continued commitment to military action and escalating regional tensions.

If you come to Kark Island, you will not return alive.
