Ghalibaf: National Unity, Strong Armed Forces Key to Iran's Success

Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated on Sunday that national unity and a powerful Armed Forces are key factors behind the country's success in the face of enemy threats. Speaking at a virtual session of the Parliament, Ghalibaf highlighted that recent developments across Iran, from missile and naval battlefields to public demonstrations, reflect the outcome of the leadership and management of late Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. He also praised a recent strategic and encouraging message from the current Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, to lawmakers. The speaker said members of Parliament regard the message as a guiding framework for the future and a roadmap, adding that they remain committed to implementing its directives.

Ghalibaf noted that the Leader's emphasis on post-war challenges demonstrates a careful understanding of the difficult conditions facing the country. He said Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei's renewed call for preserving national unity and amity against enemy efforts to create division and social fragmentation should receive greater attention from lawmakers. The speaker said Iran is currently pushing back its enemies in a major and historic war. Echoing the Leader's remarks, he stated that unity and solidarity remain the most important factors behind victory.

Ghalibaf noted that the enemy's setbacks have resulted not only from the military strength and defensive preparedness of Iranian forces but also from the steadfastness and unity of the Iranian people, describing this combination as the key to success that must be preserved. The parliament speaker then warned that in a new phase of the conflict, the enemy is attempting to compensate for military failures by exerting economic pressure and conducting media campaigns aimed at creating divisions and undermining national cohesion in an effort to force Iran into submission.

He further described the military arena, public mobilization, diplomacy, and service to the people as four interconnected fronts within a single comprehensive struggle. The achievements secured on the military front through Iran's missile capabilities were made possible by public support and backing, he added, saying the role of diplomacy is to transform those victories into political and legal gains, while the duty of government institutions and service sectors is to use the momentum of those successes to address the needs of the people.

The Parliament speaker stressed that Iranian diplomats have no trust in the statements or promises made by adversaries. He said tangible achievements remain the only acceptable benchmark for Iran and that Tehran would fulfill its commitments only in return for concrete gains. Ghalibaf added that no agreement would receive approval unless Iran is fully assured that the rights of the Iranian nation have been secured. According to Mehr News, the speaker's remarks underscore Iran's stance on unity and military strength as central to its strategy.
