SAEDNEWS: The United States has been unable to gain its allies’ support in its latest war against Iran, highlighting the challenges facing Washington’s regional strategy and its growing diplomatic isolation, Iranian Deputy Parliament Speaker Hamidreza Haji Babai says.
According to Saednews, Haji Babai said US President Donald Trump’s continued threats, despite Washington’s defeat in the conflict, reflected desperation. He said a country confident in its power and ability to act would have no need to resort to threats.
The legislator added that US allies had refused to join Trump’s acts of aggression against Iran, exposing Washington’s difficulties in advancing its regional objectives.
According to Haji Babai, US isolation and the resistance front’s steadfastness ultimately led to the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq, and US troops would eventually leave other regional countries as well.
He said Trump had resorted to rhetoric to conceal setbacks suffered against Iran over the past year. He argued that US threats, attempts to draw Iran’s neighbors into another war, and efforts to mobilize allies against Tehran would serve neither Iran’s interests nor those of regional countries or Washington’s partners.
Despite suffering losses, the resistance front had maintained its cohesion and achieved its objectives through asymmetric warfare, he added.
Haji Babai urged regional countries to unite against foreign threats, saying recent wars had demonstrated that the United States could not guarantee their security. He said Washington was prioritizing the security of its own citizens while exploiting the region’s oil wealth.
He also stressed that diplomacy and war were inseparable, insisting that negotiations must be conducted from a position of strength. Iran should firmly pursue its demands, he noted.
