Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has met with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, to discuss the latest developments in the country.

Ayatollah Khamenei and Qalibaf discussed the latest developments in the military, economic, and cognitive warfare waged by the US and Israel against Iran.

During the meeting, the Leader called for strengthening the country’s components of power and highlighted the effective role of members of parliament in preserving and consolidating social cohesion and national unity.

He also praised the continued participation of Iranians in public gatherings in support of the Islamic Republic and the armed forces, describing it as “deterrent”.

Ayatollah Khamenei called on the government and parliament to work together to address people’s economic issues, and to advance matters related to the country’s strategic partners.

For his part, Qalibaf briefed the Leader on measures lawmakers have taken since the start of the latest US-Israeli war late in February, as well as the parliament’s current and future plans for addressing the country’s issues and challenges.

The US and Israel launched the aggression against Iran on February 28, some eight months after carrying out unprovoked attacks on the country.

Iran swiftly retaliated by launching barrages of missiles and drones at the Israeli-occupied territories, as well as US bases and interests across the region.

Washington has signaled it is preparing to restart large-scale military aggression against Iran, with reports indicating the Pentagon has instructed Central Command to be ready for potential strikes.

Iran has warned that any new attack will trigger a far more severe response than previous rounds.

The secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, said recently that Iranian armed forces have prepared a “more devastating plan” that will not follow the “rules they are familiar with.”
