“Iran’s Parliament Speaker Rejects US Overtures, Claims Diplomatic Talk Conceals Attack Plot”

Iran’s Qalibaf Warns US: ‘No Surrender, The Enemy Plans Attacks’

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has delivered a defiant message to the United States, declaring that Tehran will not back down and that the ongoing conflict “will not end without victory.” He said Iran and its regional allies have already inflicted “major blows” on US forces and warned that resistance groups in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen are growing stronger.

Qalibaf accused Washington of sending mixed signals—publicly discussing negotiations while preparing military escalation behind the scenes. “The enemy talks about negotiations but plans attacks,” he said, urging Iranians not to be misled.

The Pentagon is reportedly preparing for limited ground operations, including targeted raids on missile sites, air defences, and strategic locations like Kharg Island and near the Strait of Hormuz.

Qalibaf stressed that any US attempt to force Iran into submission would fail. “We will not accept humiliation,” he said, warning that attacks would be met with decisive retaliation. He also called for full public mobilisation, framing the conflict as part of a broader global struggle.

The standoff raises fears that even limited US operations could escalate into a wider regional confrontation.
