Ghalibaf Says Americans Are Bringing Military Equipment into the Region On Monday, the Parliament Speaker took to X, slamming the U.S. for "bringing new military equipment into the region" while claiming that they want to stop the war, he said.
Ghalibaf added that Iran was aware of "recognizing these American antics" and that Tehran had prepared itself accordingly.

He then said that the U.S.'s claims must also be backed by actions and not "contradict" them. آمریکاییها مدام تجهیزات نظامی جدید به منطقه میآورند و ادعا میکنند دنبال توقف جنگند. روی هوش ما اندازهٔ آی کیوی مختصر خودشان حساب کردهاند.ما در شناخت این آمریکاییبازیها به مرحلهٔ استاد تمامی رسیدهایم و بر این اساس آماده شدهایم. اقدامات باید مؤید ادعاها باشد نه ناقض آنها.— محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) July 20, 2026 Iran War Updates The U.S.
