Iranian parliamentary stance on defense and diplomacy

Overview

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, has articulated a dual strategy of national defense and diplomatic negotiation. In late September 2026, Ghalibaf emphasized that defense and negotiation are not mutually exclusive, arguing that Iran must maintain dignity and rationality while negotiating with authority. He characterized modern defense as a fluid form of resistance that extends beyond traditional borders.

Following this, Ghalibaf issued a warning regarding potential U.S. aggression, stating that any adventurism would receive a swift response. While addressing regional security, he also commemorated the anniversary of Hassan Nasrallah’s martyrdom, asserting that the resistance structure remains resilient and disciplined under the leadership of Naim Qassem.
