Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reiterated Iran's firm stance on the ongoing US-Israel conflict, emphasizing that Tehran's position is "entirely clear, rational, and non-negotiable." The statement came amid heightened tensions following a US warning to its citizens in Iran to leave the country.
Ghalibaf's remarks were made in response to a recent alert issued by the US Embassy in Iran, which urged American citizens to depart the country due to escalating regional instability. The Iranian leader stressed that Iran would not compromise on its position, despite calls for dialogue from some international actors.
In a separate interview, US President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty over whether to destroy Iran or reach an agreement, while also suggesting that the Houthi rebels would not attack the United States. Ghalibaf countered by asserting that Tehran must "both fight and negotiate," highlighting the complex nature of Iran's strategic approach.
The remarks underscore the deepening divide between Iran and the United States, with both sides adopting increasingly firm positions in the face of rising regional tensions.
