In an open session on Sunday, Ghalibaf stated that comparing Iran’s Operation True Promise II on Israeli military and intelligence sites inside the occupied territories in October with Israel’s military aggression on Saturday clearly demonstrates the deterrent power of Iran’s defense forces.
He described Israel’s relatively weak military action against Iran as “a sign of desperation, resulting in another failure for the regime.”
The parliament speaker, however, reiterated that Article 51 of the United Nations Charter entitles Iran to defend itself and respond to the aggression “decisively and appropriately.”
Four Iranian military officers were killed in the Israeli attacks. The Iranian Air Defense announced that minor damage was inflicted on some radar systems.
Ghalibaf warned the United States, as Israel’s “main supporter and partner in all its war crimes,” to restrain Israel and enforce a sustainable ceasefire to prevent further instability in the region.
He also urged neighboring countries to condemn Israel’s aggressive actions and emphasized that regional stability can only be achieved through collective cooperation.
