In a recent address, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf stated that Iran effectively pushed back against the United States, relying on strategic planning and asymmetric warfare rather than military strength. He acknowledged that while the US possesses superior military resources, its failure in strategy led to its setbacks in the ongoing conflict, which is currently under a fragile ceasefire. Ghalibaf criticized US policies, particularly its unwavering support for Israel, suggesting that such priorities have clouded its judgment. He maintained that Iran's armed forces are fully prepared for potential conflict, warning that hostilities could resume at any moment. Additionally, Ghalibaf highlighted the ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran has restricted commercial shipping in response to US naval actions, asserting Tehran's control over the vital waterway. Reports of attacks on vessels in the region further underscore the precarious situation.
