Qalibaf pointed out in a post on X that Washington continues to send backups and new military equipment to the Middle East, while claiming to seek an end to the war with Iran.

He stated, “The United States is acting contradictorily, as it continues to move new military equipment to the region while claiming to seek an end to the war.”

The Parliament speaker noted that Iran has acquired extensive experience in detecting what he described as US duplicity and affirmed that the country is prepared to confront it.

US Vice President J.D. Vance recently stated that some Israeli officials attempted to influence US public opinion to obstruct the diplomatic process with Iran.

Vance underscored in a press briefing that his country’s foreign policy must be decided in Washington and noted that preventing Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons does not necessarily imply involvement in a new war in the Middle East.
