In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Ghalibaf said, “We are closely monitoring all US movements in the region, especially troop deployments. What the generals have broken, the soldiers can’t fix; instead, they will fall victim to Netanyahu’s delusions."

"Do not test our resolve to defend our land.”

The US and the Israeli regime launched their joint military aggression on Iran on February 28, following their previous war in June last year. Both conflicts were launched as Tehran was in the midst of diplomatic talks with Washington over its peaceful nuclear program.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike targeting his residence and office in Tehran on the first day of the ongoing aggression.

In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases, citing its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter, and warned that further escalation will invite a harsher reaction.

Iran has also maintained control of the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that the key waterway is closed only to the aggressors and any country assisting them in the aggression.
