Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf warned that the only way to end the war is for the enemy to accept the Iranian people’s rights, stressing that the country is prepared for all options.

“There is no alternative but to accept the rights of the Iranian people as laid out in the 14-point proposal,” Qalibaf said in a post on X late on Monday, referring to a proposal Tehran submitted on Sunday in response to the US.

“Any other approach will be completely inconclusive; nothing but one failure after another. The longer they drag their feet, the more American taxpayers will pay for it,” he stated.

Earlier, he emphasized that Iran’s armed forces are ready to deliver a crushing, response to any aggression, warning enemies that mistaken strategies will only bring them disastrous results.

“Our armed forces are ready to deliver a well-deserved response to any aggression; mistaken strategy and mistaken decisions will always lead to mistaken results. The whole world has already figured this out. We are prepared for all options; they will be surprised,” he said in a post.

His remarks come as the Islamic Republic upholds its policy of strategic patience and maximum preparedness in the face of escalating threats from the United States and Israel.

Iranian officials have consistently stressed that Tehran seeks peace and regional stability, yet will never hesitate to defend its sovereignty with full force when red lines are crossed.

Drawing on decades of self-reliance, advanced missile and drone technology, and the unbreakable spirit of the axis of resistance, Iran has built a formidable defensive capability that leaves no room for enemy miscalculation.
