Official: Tehran to continue strikes until "aggressor is punished"

Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf, said Tehran would continue its military campaign until those responsible for attacks on the country are “punished,” accusing the United States of concealing the scale of its losses.

In a message posted on X, Ghalibaf questioned whether U.S. commanders were reporting what he described as "increasing effective and precise Iran strikes" and the casualties they had allegedly caused, Caliber.Az reports. 

Aren't US commanders reporting on increasing effective and precise Iran strikes and the painful casualties they have suffered?
US lawmakers have been said that they don't have exit plan,but in media they bluff to control the markets.
We won't stop until the aggressor is punished.

He also claimed that U.S. lawmakers had been told there was no clear exit strategy for the conflict, while suggesting that public messaging in the media was aimed at stabilising financial markets.

Ghalibaf said Iran would not halt its actions until the “aggressor” had been held accountable.
