Iranian Parliament Speaker Warns Washington: Testing National Defense Will Be Costly

Tehran (Monitoring Desk): Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned Washington not to test Iran’s national and territorial defense resolve. His statement comes amid reports that the U.S. is preparing to deploy thousands of additional troops to the Middle East.

Speaker Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran is closely monitoring the regional situation, especially troop movements and deployments. He stated that what Iranian generals have achieved during previous confrontations cannot be undone by ordinary U.S. forces and would only fall victim to Benjamin Netanyahu’s ambitions.

The message was shared on the social media platform X, highlighting that Iran is vigilantly observing all developments in the region.

Reports indicate that the Pentagon is sending additional troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East. Sources suggest that the Trump administration is simultaneously pursuing negotiations and troop reinforcements, raising concerns about escalating regional tensions.
