Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Chairman of the Iranian Parliament, issued a stern warning to Israel and the United States on Sunday, stating that any harm to Iranian territory would be met with a severe response. Speaking at a parliamentary session, Ghalibaf asserted that threats of widespread war or assassinations would not deter Tehran from defending its rights. He emphasized that Iran is not intimidated by military threats and any attempt to violate its sovereignty would result in a response beyond the imagination of its enemies.
Ghalibaf strongly criticized the United States, accusing Washington of attempting to subjugate the Iranian people through sanctions, military threats, and media pressure. He contrasted Iran's current status as an independent regional power with significant defense capabilities to its past under the Shah. The parliament speaker also claimed that the US had entangled itself in a conflict with Iran due to miscalculations and that it is now responsible for extricating itself from the situation.
He further stated that Tehran would disregard US declarations unless Washington alters its behavior, ceases its threats, and rectifies its breaches of commitment. Ghalibaf also referenced historical ties between the US and Israel, recalling statements by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini against American influence in Iran. He accused Israel of military actions in the region and stated that Iran is working to reduce the American presence in West Asia.
In addition to military threats, Ghalibaf addressed Iran's difficult economic situation and the ongoing rise in the prices of basic goods. He acknowledged that these price increases place a heavy burden on citizens, particularly the less fortunate, workers, and retirees.
