The power of Iran's armed forces and the country's potential have increased significantly during the war with the US and Israel, said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament. "We must be strong enough so that the United States, the whole world and the region understand that they will not succeed in achieving their goals," he said in a message dedicated to the ongoing conflict with the United States. His speech was broadcast on national television. "During the aggressive war, Iran's firepower, air defense system capabilities and offensive potential have increased significantly. We have to fight with all our strength when the situation demands it," the speaker emphasized. He noted that the cycle of war, negotiations and containment will continue until Iran becomes so strong that its opponents do not even think about attacking. "The United States should change its behavior and accept the legitimate demands of the Iranian people. Every time we win a military victory on the battlefield, we must secure it in the political sphere," Ghalibaf added. The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament also noted that the country should be ready for war, even when negotiating with the USA, and the main task is to prevent a double American attack. At the same time, he noticed that signing an agreement with Washington does not provide any guarantee. "They break their promises," Ghalibaf complained. - In the current situation, Iran must be ready to counterattack the aggressor enemy, and we must show true courage on the battlefield. This is the only way we will be able to ensure sustainable deterrence."
