Iran’s Ghalibaf warns of Israeli plan to drag US into ‘endless war’ with Iran

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that Israel is seeking to drag the United States into an “endless war” with Iran.

“Israelis are working overtime to drag the US into an endless war with Iran,” Ghalibaf said in a post on X.

He described the conflict as “a quagmire that no president, now or in the future, Republican or Democrat, could escape.”

“Unless Washington drops the “Israel First” mindset, America and its allies are headed straight for a dark age,” he warned. 

Earlier, Ghalibaf said Americans had voiced their opposition to the war against Iran, expressing support for their message in his first comment on preliminary results from the US midterm congressional elections.

“Conscience or the cost of living? Americans have said ‘no to war’, and we support this message,” he said.

“If the US government betrays their public will to serve international paymasters and blackmailers, it will learn our NO comes with a Nightmare,” he added.

The remarks come amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran, continued US and Israeli threats to launch further attacks on Iran, and diplomatic efforts by regional parties to resume negotiations and prevent a renewed military confrontation.
