🌍 Ghalibaf: Any threat against Iran will draw swift, regret-inducing response 📌 Tehran, IRNA – Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf has warned that any threat or adventurism against the Islamic Republic will be met with a “swift and regret-inducing” response, saying the Iranian nation will not retreat in the face of threats, rhetoric, or economic and air blockades. Addressing an open session of the Parliament on Tuesday, Ghalibaf said US leaders should understand that the Iranian people will not be intimidated by threats or pressure. ​ “The leaders of the White House should know that the great and history-making nation of Iran will never retreat in the face of saber-rattling and rhetoric or an air or trade blockade, and the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to any threat or adventurism will be harshly regret-inducing and swift,” he said. ​ Ghalibaf said US attempts to impose a maritime blockade, close air corridors, and exert maximum pressure on Iran’s trade routes will fail through serious economic planning and military responses similar to those employed during Iraq’s war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s. ​ He said Iran’s history of resistance showed that the country should not be intimidated by siege and threats. ​ “If the enemy’s American decision-making apparatus fails to understand this fundamental truth, it will continue to be caught in the cycle of receiving heavy slaps from the Iranian nation,” he said. ​ Ghalibaf also criticized “light-headed” remarks by US President Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly, saying such hostile statements showed Washington has not changed its behavior toward Iran. ​ The parliament speaker further referred to Trump’s recent remarks concerning the Strait of Hormuz and the passage of ships through the strategic waterway. ​ “Both the US and other countries should know that, as we have said, in a region where we do not sell oil, no one will sell oil, and if our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe,” he said. ​ Ghalibaf also praised President Masoud Pezeshkian’s address to the UN General Assembly, saying he spoke as the true representative of the Iranian people and a “proud and revolutionary nation” that will not bow to threats or domination. ​ He described a Monday message by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, as a precise formulation of a “defense and civilizational doctrine,” arguing that Iran’s deterrence structure has been built through previous wars and that recent wars demonstrated a change in the balance of threats. 📲 ​
