Iran's Parliament Speaker: US, Israel, NATO failed to force submission

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf declared that the United States, the "occupying entity" of Israel, and NATO have failed in their attempts to compel Iran to surrender. Speaking during a meeting with the Speaker of Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly (MPR RI), Ahmad Muzani, Ghalibaf asserted that any future war would not lead to the Islamic Republic's capitulation.

Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran has no desire for war but is fully committed to defending its sovereignty. He added that efforts toward de-escalation would not diminish the country's military preparedness. He recalled that before the "last war" broke out, the U.S., Israel, and NATO believed they could force Iran to yield within days, but "the entire world has witnessed their failure against Iran."

Addressing negotiations with Washington, Ghalibaf revealed he had directly communicated Iran's position to the U.S. vice president. "I told the U.S. vice president in the negotiations that we do not trust you at all," he stated. The Iranian Parliament Speaker stressed that Tehran continuously prepares to defend its territory and sovereignty, warning, "Whenever the American side betrays the agreement, we are ready for a comprehensive defense."

Ghalibaf concluded by noting that ending wars remains a priority for global nations. However, he reiterated, "Everyone must know that this conflict will never end with Iran's surrender."
