Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, strongly rejected President Donald Trump’s declarations that the US has vanquished iran. CNN reported this response, stemming from a comment directed at Trump on the social media platform X. Ghalibaf sarcastically addressed Trump’s repeated assertions, stating that the American president had “claimed we were ‘defeated’ nine times over the past two weeks.
This is utterly ridiculous!” The specific comments to which Ghalibaf was referring remain ambiguous. Previously, Trump had consistently asserted that the United States is achieving victory in its conflict with iran. He recently posted on Truth Social, declaring that the US “has defeated and completely destroyed iran, militarily, economically, and in any other way.”
This pronouncement followed other social media statements from trump.
The Iranian official’s reaction underscores the ongoing tensions and disagreements between the two nations regarding the perceived state of the conflict. Ghalibaf’s dismissal of trump’s claims highlights the continued resistance within iran to any suggestion of defeat.
