Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said that the direct entry of the United States into the war is clear evidence of the enemy entity's inability to confront the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

Tasnim International News Agency reported that Qalibaf explained in his remarks that "the delusional American president ultimately completed his strategic mistake in supporting the criminal Zionist gang, and with his direct entry, he officially announced his partnership in the war against Iran." 

He added: "It is true that America has been an integral part of the Zionist entity's army since the beginning of the war, but the heroic defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran's armed forces thwarted the combined Israeli-American military plan against our people and forced the American president to once again reveal his deceptive face and officially enter the war, despite all his anti-war campaign slogans."
