🇮🇷 The speaker of the Iranian parliament stated that the United States must be punished and accept Tehran’s demands

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, said that the United States must be forced to change its policies and accept Iran’s demands. In an address broadcast on state television, he emphasized that Tehran intends to use military strength and diplomatic negotiations simultaneously. According to Ghalibaf, American assurances and even signed agreements do not automatically guarantee an end to attacks on Iran.

The speaker of parliament proposed changing the logic of confrontation. Instead of the usual sequence of “war – negotiations – peace,” Iran should shift to the formula “war – negotiations – deterrence.” Ghalibaf recalled the eight-year war with Iraq, through which, in his assessment, the country was able to create the conditions for the long-term deterrence of its adversaries. He also accused Washington of breaking agreements previously reached in Islamabad and emphasized the need to consolidate military successes through political agreements.

Tehran is increasingly linking the possibility of a peaceful settlement not only to the fulfillment of specific demands but also to the creation of guarantees against another attack. The Iranian government views military pressure and negotiations as complementary instruments, rather than alternative paths to resolving the conflict.
