Iran has shown self-restraint so far, parliament speaker says

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Thursday that Tehran has so far exercised restraint in the face of regional conflict, warning the United States against further escalation.

"We have shown self-restraint in response to the expansion of war in the region," Ghalibaf said in remarks reported by Iranian media.

Addressing the United States, he added: "The delusional American president should know he cannot impose peace on us through imposed war and threats."
