Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf, in today's public session (Sunday, October 12) of the parliament, referring to the current state of foreign policies and sanctions, said: "It is not only the Zionists who are trapped in desperation and helplessness; the Americans have also become desperate in the face of the steadfastness and resistance of the Iranian nation." He added: "The Americans, who say something different in the media, have recently made proposals through intermediaries. However, they must understand that the era of wearing down time and dictating one-sided demands is over, and the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran is completely clear and definitive. The Strait of Hormuz will not be opened until our seven conditions based on the Islamabad agreement are fulfilled."
Iran's Seven Conditions
Ghalibaf further stated that the current international conditions are such that economic pressures and military threats are simultaneously imposed on Iran by the U.S. He clarified: "They have increased their military rhetoric and threats alongside economic pressure and military and security actions, to the extent that sometimes in one day, they make several contradictory statements. This is a feature of the cognitive battlefield where the enemy one day takes the pose of negotiation and agreement, the next day threatens with conflict and destruction, and the day after claims mediation and reconciliation."
Strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran
The Speaker of the Parliament emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a country that adjusts its grand strategy and national security based on tweets or daily interviews of American officials, noting: "We base our actions on the real behavior and actions of the enemy, not on rhetoric and false dichotomies in the media." He emphasized, based on the strategy of power and rationality, that Iran is neither excited nor intimidated; "We both fight and negotiate; we are present in the military battlefield with all our might and will confront it with new surprises, and we will also use diplomatic tools to establish our superiority in the military field and impose the rights of the Iranian nation."
Ghalibaf pointed out that he has often said: "The one who is victorious in the negotiation field is the one who has prepared for war." These words reflect the dual approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran in facing external threats and clearly emphasize the necessity of readiness in both military and diplomatic arenas.
