Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has asserted that Tehran scored a strategic victory over the United States and Israel in the 2026 war, saying the adversaries were prevented from achieving the objectives they announced when hostilities began.
“I said we defeated America,” Ghalibaf said in an interview.
“They have numerous parameters. We did not allow them to achieve the goals that the regime and Israel declared when they started the war. We did not allow them to achieve any of those goals in the war.”
Ghalibaf framed the outcome as a multidimensional success, saying Iran and its allied “resistance front” performed strongly across military, political, economic and media arenas.
“We provided the necessary assistance. Yes, we had assistance on the battlefield and its immediate surroundings. But we see four arenas: military, political, economic, and media. In all four arenas, the armed forces and the resistance front are performing their duties in the best possible way with honor and sacrifice,” he said.
