Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned Washington that Israel is seeking to drag the United States into an endless war with Iran, cautioning that such a conflict could become a quagmire from which no American president would be able to escape.

In a post on his X account, Ghalibaf said Israeli leaders were working around the clock to draw the United States into a prolonged confrontation with Iran, regardless of which political party controls the White House.

He stressed that neither a Republican nor a Democratic president would be able to easily extricate the United States from such a conflict once it begins.

Ghalibaf also warned that unless Washington abandons its “Israel First” policy and prioritizes its own national interests, the United States and its allies risk being pushed rapidly toward a dark and dangerous era.

His remarks underscore Tehran’s warning that US involvement in a war against Iran would carry serious consequences, while serving the interests of Israel rather than the American people. (ILKHA)
