Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf rejects US sanctions threats and accuses Trump of distorting remarks
The Iranian Parliament Media Center has accused US President Donald Trump of distorting remarks made by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. According to the Media Center, Trump used misinformation to mask US military failures and manipulate global opinion. To clarify the record, the center released the full video of Ghalibaf’s speech delivered to economic activists from Iran and Iraq.
During the speech, Ghalibaf emphasized the need for Iran and Iraq to coordinate economic strategies to overcome US sanctions. He characterized the current situation as a shift from military conflict to “cognitive and economic warfare.” He urged economic actors to act as “commanders” in this struggle, suggesting measures such as using national currencies for bilateral trade to bypass international restrictions. Ghalibaf also noted that security serves as the essential prerequisite for economic stability.
In a separate social media post on X, Ghalibaf ridiculed recent US sanctions threats, stating that “a frozen foreign policy delivers a frozen economy.” Additionally, IRGC Spokesperson Sardar Mohebi remarked that Washington’s heavy reliance on economic warfare is a tacit admission of its military defeat.
