The reassurance comes after the United States targeted Iran's nuclear infrastructure including Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—facilities known to house advanced uranium enrichment equipment. Iranian state television reported that the nuclear sites had been evacuated and critical materials moved in advance of the strikes, minimizing damage. Mehdi Mohammadi, an advisor to Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, said Tehran had anticipated an attack on Fordow for several nights. 'The site had been evacuated long ago and did not suffer irreversible damage,' Mohammadi stated, adding, 'Two facts are certain: first, knowledge cannot be bombed. Second, this time the gambler will lose.'

Qalibaf: Israeli Rhetoric Stems from Delusion; Any Attack on Iran Will Ignite Region
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has dismissed Israeli rhetoric as delusional and futile attempts to influence the talks between Iran and the United States, warning that even a slight act of aggression against Iran would trigger a regional explosion. Speaking at a Parliament session on Tuesday, Qalibaf said that Iran does not take these threats seriously but remains vigilant. 'Even the slightest aggression will be like igniting a barrel of gunpowder,' he said, warning that all U.S. bases in the region would be at risk and regional states would share the cost of Israel's adventurism. He underlined Iran's full readiness for a powerful response and said the best path forward is strengthening internal capacities and foreign ties to secure Iran's national interests. According to Qalibaf, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom he described as a 'corrupt criminal,' was making threats in a bid to avoid his looming political demise. 'He is so terrified of being arrested that he changes his flight routes daily,' he said, calling Netanyahu the 'most hated criminal in modern history.' 'Every time this corrupt criminal brags louder, he suffers a bigger defeat,' Qalibaf said, adding that 'Hamas has become his nightmare.' The parliament speaker argued that Israel's 'true face' has now been exposed, especially to young people in the U.S. and Europe. The Israeli regime has failed to achieve any of its declared goals in the Gaza war and is now 'at its most insecure state,' plagued by deep economic, political, and social crises, he added.

Iran: No more hijab street patrols
Shafaq New/ Iran has officially disbanded its morality police, which enforced the country's mandatory hijab laws, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced. Qalibaf confirmed that the revised law eliminates the "Guidance Patrols", but he emphasized that hijab laws remain in effect, according to local media. The amendments, he said, aim to change enforcement methods and foster public consensus on the issue. The decision follows years of public defiance against hijab mandates, particularly after the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini in police custody, which sparked mass protests and international condemnation, pressuring the government to modify its approach. In February 2025, a woman in Mashhad staged a dramatic demonstration, undressing and climbing onto a police car to protest dress code enforcement. Her act followed the December passage of the Chastity and Hijab Law, which introduced harsher penalties for violations. Human rights organizations have denounced Iran's continued enforcement of hijab laws. Human Rights Watch criticized the legislation for introducing severe punishments, including fines, imprisonment, and even the death penalty for repeat offenders. Amnesty International described the law as an effort to "suppress opposition to compulsory veiling."
