Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reiterated Iran's firm stance on the US-Israeli war, emphasizing that Tehran's position is "entirely clear, rational, and non-negotiable." Speaking during a press conference, Ghalibaf highlighted the need for Iran to maintain its strategic autonomy in the region. His remarks came as Iranian schools reopened following the conflict, with reports of damaged classrooms and lingering psychological effects on students.
The comments align with broader Iranian government messaging that stresses resistance against Western influence. Ghalibaf also addressed the possibility of military action, stating that Iran must "both fight and negotiate" to protect its interests. This dual approach reflects the complex balancing act Iran faces in its relations with both the United States and Israel.
In separate remarks, Ghalibaf suggested that Iran's actions are driven by a desire to ensure regional stability. His statements underscore the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, where diplomatic and military strategies continue to shape the geopolitical landscape. The reopening of schools has also sparked discussions about the long-term impact of the conflict on education and youth development.
