Abbas Golrow, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian parliament, told Mehr News Agency: “It is in the interest of the United States and its partner countries to stop the current process and not enter into military confrontation, because the reaction of the Islamic Republic can be deterrent and proportionate to the circumstances.”

Golrow said on Sunday, 24 Aban: “The circle of war could expand further, and even within the same existing geography, new objectives have been defined. These new objectives have been examined, and what we can see from the capabilities and readiness of our armed forces indicates new plans and capabilities.”

This member of parliament added: “From a military standpoint, the armed forces of the Islamic Republic are in a high level of readiness.”
