The "rules of the game" in the war with the US have changed – Ghalibaf

The "rules of the game" in the war of the US and Israel against Iran have changed. Now, any attack against Iran's interests and security can be repelled by the Islamic Republic of Iran with an "even faster, harsher, and more painful response." This was announced by the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

According to him, the US must realize that the "era of symmetrical response to attacks" has ended. Ghalibaf stated that Iran's recent strikes on US military bases in the Middle East were "just the beginning."

At the same time, he also drew attention to the difficult economic situation in Iran. He emphasized that the country's population is under serious pressure due to exchange rate instability, inflation, and unemployment. Ghalibaf noted that "internal solidarity" and "external deterrence" are the "most important tools" in the struggle against the US.

On September 5, Admiral Brad Cooper, head of the US Armed Forces Central Command (CENTCOM), stated that the US is changing its tactics in the war against Iran.

"If you fire at two of our ships, we will 'disable' three of your ships and force you to pay an even higher economic price," he said.

Cooper said that if necessary, the US Armed Forces are ready to destroy Iran's unprotected oil tankers.

On September 5, the US Armed Forces launched a missile strike on one of Iran's oil tankers near the coast of Kharg Island, disabling it. Prior to this, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched a missile attack on two American warships. However, the ships were not damaged as a result of the attack.

According to a report reviewed by the publication's sources, although half a year has passed since the start of the US and Israel's war against Iran, the country has maintained confidence in its military capabilities and is preparing to continue the conflict.
