❗️Iranian lawmaker says US-Israeli aggression backfired and elevated country to global superpower status Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian says that the US-Israeli war against Iran failed across all strategic objectives, transforming the Islamic Republic into a "global superpower" instead of achieving regime change or dismantling its military capabilities. In a series of statements published on social media, Nabavian asserted that Washington and the Israeli occupation forces sought to demolish Iranian civilization, fragment the state, overthrow the government, and dismantle Tehran's nuclear and missile programs. Instead, he argued that successful deterrence and retaliatory military operations forced the closure of multiple US bases across West Asia, fueled global inflationary pressures, and severely damaged the political standing of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nabavian highlighted Tehran's effective control over the Strait of Hormuz as a decisive strategic leverage point, framing the outcome of the confrontation as an historic victory. Warning against pro-western domestic voices attempting to distort the war's outcome, the lawmaker's remarks followed the decisive Democratic sweep in Tuesday's US midterm elections, which political analysts attribute directly to public blowback against Washington's military overextension.
