In a speech to parliament, Ghalibaf asserted that threats of widespread war or assassinations would not deter Tehran from defending its rights. He emphasized that Iran is prepared to respond with force to any attack on its sovereignty, in a manner that "enemies cannot imagine."
Ghalibaf accused the United States 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 Speaker also claimed that the U.S. has become entangled in a conflict with Iran due to miscalculations and bears responsibility for extricating itself from the situation.
