US clearly demonstrates its will to resume hostilities against Iran — senior lawmaker

TEHRAN, May 20. /TASS/. The US recent actions point to Washington’s intentions to restart hostilities against Iran, but Tehran’s military forces have prepared better during the truce, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated on Wednesday.

"All social and publicly hidden steps on behalf of our enemy indicate that it intends to unleash another stage of war," Fars news agency quoted the Iranian senior lawmaker as saying.

Ghalibaf noted, however, that the Iranian military wasted no time and used the previously announced truce period to get prepared for any possible scenarios.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced in a statement earlier in the day that If the US and Israel attacked Iran again, the combat zone would expand beyond the Middle East region.

The IRGC added that Iran had not used all its combat capabilities in previous rounds of fighting.
