Iranian Parliament Speaker Declares Military and Political Victory Over US and IsraelPreviousNext

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf declared that Iran emerged victorious both militarily and politically from what he described as an "unjust war" led by the United States and Israel. He highlighted a Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the US as a diplomatic success. The General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces pledged to continue pursuing the country's demands and defeating American and Israeli adversaries in the region. These statements come amid US claims of damage to Iran's military infrastructure.
