Sulaimani, Iraqi Kurdistan — Kurdish Policy Analysis

In a strong reaction to escalating military tensions in the region, the speaker of Iran's parliament has issued a direct threat to US and Israeli interests. He said his country had closed the door to dialogue and the Iranian armed forces were fully prepared to respond to any possibility.

The language of force instead of diplomacy

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqir Qalibaf has lashed out at the policies of Washington and Tel Aviv, saying the two countries do not recognize the concept of diplomacy and dialogue. Qalibaf said the continued violations of ceasefire agreements in Lebanon and the tightening of economic sanctions are clear evidence that the only way to deal with the problems is to use the "language of force.

U.S. and Israeli bases are under target

"From now on, all US and Israeli military bases, interests and assets in the region will be regarded as the legitimate and main targets of the Iranian armed forces," he said.

the background of the tensions; Strait of Hormuz on the verge of explosion

Tehran's harsh comments come as relations between Iran and the United States have reached a peak of tension. Several Iranian bases in the strategic Strait of Hormuz were targeted yesterday following Israeli attacks on Lebanon and new sanctions against Tehran.

In the face of these dangerous developments, the Islamic Republic of Iran has sent a clear message to the international community; Tehran will not go to the negotiating table under pressure, sanctions and military attacks and will change its strategy from a policy of waiting to direct military confrontation.

Israeli media reported that Iran attacked Israel tonight.
