Iran parliamentary leader vows military response in sign regime won’t back down
This affects the entire country.
In Tehran’s latest signal that it will not blink, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the country is not looking to negotiate with the United States and Israel.
As the war enters its 11th day, Iran has struggled to mount an effective response to the blistering U.S.-Israeli air and missile strikes that have devastated its military. Despite this, Ghalibaf said the government was not seeking negotiations and hinted that Tehran would somehow hit its enemies with heavy military force.
“Absolutely, we are not seeking a ceasefire; we believe we must strike the aggressor in the mouth so that it learns a lesson and never again even thinks of aggressing against our dear Iran,” Ghalibaf said on X. “The Zionist regime sees its ignoble existence in perpetuating the cycle of ‘war-negotiation-ceasefire and then war again’ in order to consolidate its domination. We will break this cycle.”
Ghalibaf, a former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, is a longtime leader of Iran’s conservative faction, known as the “principlists.” He has consistently advocated for hardline policies against the U.S. and Israel, and played a central role in ordering the massacre of tens of thousands of protesters in January.
Despite Iran’s heavily lopsided losses, the hardliners dominating the government appear to be betting that they can outlast the U.S. and Israel through global economic pressure. Oil prices have skyrocketed over the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, though President Donald Trump announced yesterday that the strait was reopening.
Ghalibaf’s rhetoric aligns with other messages from the government and the military, many of which threaten global oil supplies. On Monday, Guard spokesman Ali Mohammad Naeini pledged that Iran “will not allow the export of a single liter of oil from the region to the hostile side and its partners until further notice.”
“Their efforts to reduce and control the price of oil and gas will be temporary and fruitless,” he added.
The threat was quickly picked up by Trump, who issued a stark warning in response.
“If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it …
