Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told an open session of parliament on 6 September 2026 that the era of proportionate responses is over and that any further aggression against Iran’s interests and security would draw a faster, heavier and more painful reply. Mehr News and Shafaq News both carried the remarks; Ghalibaf said recent Iranian strikes on US bases were only the beginning and that the rules of the game had changed.

Why it matters

This is a change in the declared rules of response, not a new strike: it frames later Iranian fire as policy rather than tit-for-tat.

Verification: Confirmed

Evidence: Any aggression on Iran's interests to face painful response, Ghalibaf: Iran's proportionate response era is over
