Iran's Qalibaf claims U.S. military and political defeat in recent conflict
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has declared that the United States suffered a decisive military and political defeat in its recent conflict with Iran. Speaking during a visit to Iraq, Qalibaf asserted that Washington's attempts to achieve regime change and expand influence in West Asia have failed, and predicted that upcoming U.S. economic offensives intended to isolate Tehran will also be unsuccessful.
Analyses of the military engagement highlight significant logistical and tactical shortcomings in the U.S. operation. These include insufficient ammunition reserves for precision weapons, inadequate defenses against low-cost attack drones, and a lack of preparation for disruptions in oil and fertilizer supplies. Critics note that the Trump administration failed to meet its core objectives, such as destroying Iran's long-range strike capabilities or altering its nuclear policy.
Qalibaf also addressed the shifting regional landscape, welcoming the planned withdrawal of U.S.-led coalition forces from Iraq as a historic development. He warned that Israel is attempting to expand the conflict to other regional nations and urged Islamic countries to maintain unity to counter such threats.
