Iranian lawmakers on Tuesday responded to the ceasefire with Israel by threatening to expel UN nuclear watchdog inspectors and declaring the Islamic Republic's rising global power.
“The West must soon get used to ambiguity over Iran’s nuclear program,” MP Amir Hossein Sabeti said, adding, “Not only have Iran’s nuclear facilities not been destroyed, but Israel will soon receive a more decisive blow—when, with a majority vote in parliament, the spy inspectors from the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) inspectors are expelled.”
Separately, MP Mohammad Nabavian said the ceasefire marked the beginning of “a new phase of the war,” adding, “The Islamic Republic empire is emerging…we were a regional power, but now the Iranian nation is a global power…the enemy has asked us for a ceasefire.”
