Iran 2026: Mohammad Qalibaf Announces Foiling External Plot to Activate Separatists in the West, Affirming Defense System's Resilience

 Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Qalibaf confirmed on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, the failure of foreign attempts to activate separatists in western Iran. In a recorded speech, Qalibaf noted that initial plots to assassinate leaders and cripple the defense system failed as missile and drone capabilities remained intact. He warned that after failing at military invasions and coups, the "enemy" has shifted to economic pressure and naval blockades in 2026 to cause internal division. Qalibaf emphasized that national unity and following the Supreme Leader’s guidance are the only ways to defeat these new conspiracies.
