Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf said the IDF's operation in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut shows that the United States either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so, according to Iranian media. Ghalibaf asserted that by "giving the green light to the regime [Israel]," Washington cannot gain concessions, and described the US 'bad cop, good cop' approach as outdated.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf issued a statement at 15:33 Jerusalem time accusing the United States of being either unwilling or unable to enforce its commitments, citing the IDF's incursion into the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut as evidence. Ghalibaf argued that by permitting Israeli operations, Washington forfeits any ability to extract concessions from Iran.
This is the latest in a series of similar statements from Ghalibaf over the past 48 hours. As The Zioneer reported at 13:58 today, Ghalibaf had previously threatened to halt dialogue if Israeli operations in Lebanon continue.
Ghalibaf's remarks remain single-sourced via Iranian media and have not been corroborated by independent outlets. No operational or policy shift has been announced by Tehran as a result.
