Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf cautioned about potential attacks on US bases and assets in the region. Ghalibaf criticized the US for its lack of commitment to dialogue and ceasefire, emphasizing their reliance on power dynamics. He highlighted the possibility of US bases becoming legitimate targets due to actions like the naval blockade against Iran.
In a recent interview, US President Donald Trump urged Israel to conduct more precise strikes against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Trump expressed a desire for Lebanon to experience improved conditions and advocated for surgical strikes against Hezbollah. This statement followed Israel’s military response to Hezbollah’s attacks on Israeli territory.
Ghalibaf previously stated that Iran achieves concessions through missiles rather than dialogue. He underscored the importance of actions over words, emphasizing Iran’s readiness for war in negotiations with the US. Ghalibaf emphasized the significance of preparedness for conflict in any potential agreement.
The Trump administration claimed success in pressuring Iran economically and militarily to engage in nuclear negotiations. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted Iran’s willingness to address issues that previous US administrations struggled to resolve, attributing this progress to the current administration’s approach.
