Tehran: Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Parliament’s National
Security and Foreign Policy Commission, has stated that Iran will no longer exercise patience in the face of actions that threaten stability, security, or national interests. His remarks reflect Tehran’s increasingly firm stance on regional security issues and its determination to respond decisively to perceived threats.

Speaking on recent developments, Rezaei said that Iran is actively engaged in efforts aimed at maintaining what he described as a strategic balance in the region. According to him, preserving regional stability and protecting Iran’s national interests remain key priorities for the country’s leadership and security institutions.

He emphasized that Iran’s policy of restraint has limits and that the country will not continue to tolerate acts of provocation, unrest, or activities that undermine security. Rezaei asserted that any future attempts to create instability or challenge Iran’s interests would be met with a stronger response than in the past.

Commenting on the international reaction to Iran’s policies, he acknowledged that some of Tehran’s actions may create discomfort for the United States. However, he argued that Washington would eventually become accustomed to Iran’s more assertive approach in defending its interests and maintaining its influence in the region. His remarks appeared to signal Iran’s intention to pursue its strategic objectives regardless of external pressure or criticism.

The statement comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with both countries frequently exchanging criticism over regional security issues, military activities, and broader geopolitical disputes. Iranian officials have repeatedly maintained that their policies are designed to safeguard national sovereignty and contribute to regional stability, while also resisting what they view as foreign interference in the affairs of the Middle East.

A few days earlier, Rezaei had delivered a strongly worded criticism of the United States through a statement posted on the social media platform X. In that message, he argued that recent developments had demonstrated that American policymakers respond more readily to military strength than to diplomatic engagement.

According to Rezaei, the conduct of the United States has reinforced the belief among some Iranian officials that deterrence and defense capabilities play a crucial role in shaping international relations. He suggested that diplomatic efforts alone are often insufficient when dealing with powers that prioritize strategic and military considerations.

In addition to his comments on regional security and international relations, Rezaei paid tribute to Iran’s armed forces, particularly the naval and aerospace branches of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He praised their role in protecting the country’s territorial integrity, strengthening national defense capabilities, and contributing to Iran’s overall security framework.

The lawmaker commended the professionalism, preparedness, and commitment of Iranian military personnel, describing them as an essential pillar of the nation’s defense strategy. He stated that their efforts have enhanced Iran’s ability to respond effectively to security challenges and maintain stability in a complex regional environment.

Rezaei’s remarks underscore Iran’s continued emphasis on military preparedness, strategic deterrence, and a more assertive regional posture. They also reflect the ongoing tensions between Tehran and Washington, highlighting the challenges facing diplomatic efforts and the broader security landscape in the Middle East.
