Claim 1: “Israel and the United States suffered a "strategic defeat" in the conflict with Iran since they did not achieve their stated objectives, Speaker of Majles, the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes the statement to Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. Web search results confirm that Ghalibaf made statements regarding the failure of the US team and the strategic outcome of the conflict. However, none of the provided evidence explicitly quotes or confirms the specific phrasing that Israel and the United States suffered a 'strategic defeat' *because* they failed to achieve stated objectives, beyond general statements of failure. The evidence is primarily derived from web search snippets referencing his statements, but not from multiple independent news reports confirming this exact phrasing.

The claim states that Ghalibaf noted that Iran does not trust Israel and the United States and is prepared to resume combat operations immediately.

SINGLE SOURCE
The claim reports Ghalibaf stressing that Iran's armed forces are fully ready to resume combat operations if its adversaries make a mistake. This sentiment is supported by the web search results citing his warnings about resuming combat operations. However, the specific phrasing and context ('if its adversaries make a mistake') are drawn from the reporting of his statements and are not independently corroborated by two or more distinct news sources.

This sentiment is reflected in the web search results citing his comments about the US team failing to gain trust and the failure of negotiations.
