Harsh response from Qalibaf to Vance: "Why don't you tell that to your boss?"

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf publicly rebuked U.S. Vice President JD Vance over his calls to end the Iran war and reconsider Israel policy, asking why Vance does not make the same case to his boss. Qalibaf argued that President Donald Trump is preparing for a new phase of the conflict, signaling a widening gap between Washington's rhetoric and Tehran's expectations. The exchange matters because it underscores how little room negotiators may have to de-escalate while Trump retains control of U.S. policy. Watch for whether Vance's stance translates into concrete U.S. action or remains a dissenting voice within the administration.
