Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf Issues Warning of Military Response
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, warned that Iran would respond to any new military attacks with unimaginable retaliation. This comes as US President Donald Trump indicated that there could either be a deal with Iran or the completion of a mission might be necessary. Ghalibaf made these remarks ahead of parliamentary proceedings focused on a bill concerning countermeasures against infiltration.
On November 8, in Kathmandu, responding to threats from senior US officials, Ghalibaf stated, “Any attempt against Iran’s regional integrity will be met with a response beyond imagination.” Earlier on Sunday, President Trump said, “Maybe I have to finish the job, or maybe they will make a deal.” However, Trump did not clarify whether “finishing the job” implied renewed military action against Iran.
Ghalibaf delivered these comments before the start of Sunday’s parliamentary session. During this session, lawmakers continued discussions on legislation related to countering infiltration. Approximately two-thirds of parliament members participated through various means; some were physically present in the parliament building, while others joined online. Speaker Ghalibaf himself was present at the parliament building to attend the session.
