Who is Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and what threat did he make regarding potential US strikes?

Question

Accepted Answer

Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf is Iran's parliament speaker. He warned that US military bases in the region and Israel would be "legitimate targets" if America intervenes. Iran uses asymmetric deterrence: unable to match US military power directly, Tehran threatens allies and US troops stationed in Iraq, Syria, and Gulf states. Qalibaf's position as speaker (not a general) making this threat demonstrates the regime is coordinating its political and military messaging to deter Trump without backing down publicly.
