India, Aug. 22 -- Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf claimed that the United States put the security and entire existence of its Middle Eastern allies at risk to protect Israel.

He added that this perceived overreach has prompted multiple neighboring countries to contact Tehran to explore alternative, independent security frameworks.
