Response to American Proposals
The Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly continued to address the current state of relations between Iran and the United States, stating: "It is not only the Zionists who are trapped in despair and helplessness, but the Americans are also struggling with problems." He added that the Americans, who express different positions in the media, have recently made proposals through intermediaries. Ghalibaf clarified that the Islamic Republic of Iran stands firmly on its positions and any negotiations must be conducted within the framework of national interests and based on the specified conditions.
Consequences of Non-Fulfillment of Conditions
The failure to meet these conditions could have serious consequences for Iran's relations with Western countries, especially the United States. Ghalibaf emphasized that the Iranian people will continue to resist despite pressures and sanctions, and any attempt to limit Iran will fail. According to him, the Strait of Hormuz, as one of the most important waterways in the world, is significant not only for Iran but also for many other countries, and its security must be guaranteed.
In conclusion, the Speaker emphasized the necessity of national unity and solidarity, stating that the Islamic Republic of Iran will never surrender to pressures and that as long as Iran's conditions are not met, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.
