The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, affirmed that the country’s national security lies in preserving Iran’s arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz. He stated that Iran has insisted on upholding these arrangements during negotiations and will stand against any attempt to weaken them.
In a statement addressed to the Iranian people on Wednesday evening, carried by the Fars News Agency, the head of the Iranian negotiating team said, “In these days when the flames of war have been reignited, questions are being raised among citizens and various groups, each answering them according to their own perspective. Are we seeking war? Will the war and its shadows end? Can we achieve our goals through negotiations? When we are dealing with a reneging America, what is the point of negotiations in the first place? Ultimately, the crucial question is: How do we secure our rights and emerge victorious in this conflict?”
