Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf Calls for Heightened Security Readiness

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament and a key figure in recent negotiations, has urged Iranian forces and institutions to raise their security preparedness in anticipation of possible new attacks.

In statements reported today, Ghalibaf highlighted “enemy movements, both overt and covert,” and called on the country’s armed forces, IRGC, and security apparatus to strengthen readiness. He emphasized that Iran remains prepared for “all scenarios” while continuing diplomatic efforts.

The remarks come against the backdrop of a fragile ceasefire between Iran, the United States, and Israel following months of direct conflict. Recent weeks have seen mutual accusations of violations, with both sides positioning forces and issuing threats. Ghalibaf has repeatedly warned that Iran’s military is “battle ready” and capable of delivering a strong response to any aggression.

Analysts view the statement as both defensive posturing and a message to domestic audiences amid economic pressures and war fatigue. It also serves as a deterrent signal toward Israel and the U.S. as ceasefire talks remain stalled.
