[58340] Iranian MP warns of a US-Israeli plan to seize islands in southern Iran

Iranian warning against military action in the Persian Gulf

In reports circulated today, May 13, 2026, Iranian Parliament (Majlis) member Kamran Ghazanfari claimed that Iran has "shawahed o ghara'en" (evidence and signs) that the US and Israel are planning a large-scale military operation aimed at seizing islands in the south of the country.

The report, which was published in various Iranian Telegram channels identified with the conservative and anti-Western line, received wide distribution. Akhbar-e Fouri Khabar-e Fouri Jang-e Amrika Fouri, a channel that emphasizes messages of military confrontation with the US, quoted Ghazanfari as saying: "The US and Israel are planning a large-scale operation to seize some of the islands in the south."

The claims also echoed in other channels that define themselves as "military news" and internal Iranian politics channels:

• Hut News | Fouri 🔴 repeated the remarks similarly to other sources, highlighting the narrative of a direct threat to Iran's sovereignty.


• Cafe Politics 🖤 noted that Ghazanfari sees these steps as a coordinated offensive action.


• The channel Akhbar-e Fouri-e Iran va Amrika™ emphasized that according to the parliament member, this is a real possibility and not just a distant assessment.

As of this hour, official sources in Tehran or Washington have not responded to Ghazanfari's claims. It should be noted that these channels are characterized by a line that promotes theories about malicious Western intentions toward Iran, and often use political statements to heighten the sense of alertness among the Iranian public.
