Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has warned that adversaries are launching a new phase of a "hybrid war" against the Islamic Republic, shifting tactics after suffering setbacks on military and diplomatic fronts.

Tehran - BORNA - Ghalibaf stressed that the strategy heavily relies on economic pressure and psychological operations aimed at manipulating public opinion, inciting civil unrest, and sparking internal chaos rather than simply applying economic leverage.

Concurrently, US President Donald Trump stated in new remarks that he sees no need for negotiations at present, expressing satisfaction with current economic pressures on Iran. Trump explicitly questioned when the Iranian public might rise up against the government, signaling hope for domestic turmoil and internal confrontation.

In response, Iranian officials have underscored the critical need for public vigilance against psychological warfare, urging that economic grievances not be exploited to destabilize the country internally—a measure designed to neutralize the cognitive and social dimensions of the unfolding hybrid campaign.
