Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran’s parliament, has emphasized that Tehran’s stance on the ongoing US-Israeli conflict is “entirely clear, rational, and non-negotiable.” Speaking during a press briefing, he reiterated Iran’s support for Palestinian resistance and its rejection of any Israeli military action against Gaza. The remarks come as Israeli forces continue to target structures in the territory, with reports indicating that over 255 war-damaged buildings may be demolished by Gazan authorities in the coming weeks.
Ghalibaf’s comments align with broader Iranian diplomatic efforts to position the country as a key player in the Middle East. He also addressed recent US President Donald Trump’s controversial views on Iran, suggesting that the administration’s approach to the conflict remains unclear. In a separate interview with Fox News, Trump expressed doubts about whether to destroy Iran or pursue a deal, while Ghalibaf stressed that Tehran must “both fight and negotiate.”
The Iranian leader’s remarks highlight the growing complexity of regional diplomacy, as Iran seeks to balance its support for Palestinian groups with the need to manage international pressures. Meanwhile, the potential demolition of war-damaged buildings in Gaza underscores the humanitarian challenges facing the territory. The situation remains under close watch, with no immediate signs of a diplomatic breakthrough.
