Iranian Parliament Speaker, Ghalibaf:

Americans keep bringing new military equipment to the region and claim they're after stopping the war. They've bet on our intelligence being as brief as their own IQ.

We've reached the stage of mastery in recognizing these American games, and on that basis, we've prepared ourselves. Actions must confirm claims, not contradict them.

Iran took extraordinary measures this spring to protect Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, assigning military escorts and making last-minute travel changes, the NYT reports.

The steps followed warnings the U.S. relayed through regional states that Israel might assassinate the two officials in the middle of negotiations.

In one incident, Ghalibaf's plane made an emergency landing in Mashhad after Iranian security forces flagged intelligence that Israel intended to attack the aircraft. According to the warning, two Israeli fighter jets had crossed into Iranian airspace near the border with Iraq.

Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament:

“I call upon all the people of Iran, the youth, the families of the martyrs, the war wounded, the brave women and men of this land, and all who walk the path of truth, to come in large numbers to the leader's funeral and write another glorious page in the history of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We must rise and make the people's call for blood revenge heard by the world, so that the world knows that the noble Iranian people will not remain silent in the face of injustice and arrogance, and will not give up on avenging the blood of their leader.”
