Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reaffirmed on Sunday his country’s unwavering support for the Syrian people in the face of ongoing Israeli aggression, stressing Iran’s commitment to Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Speaking during a public session of the Shura Council, Iran's Parliament, Ghalibaf warned that Israeli attacks on states resisting Western hegemony serve as proof that Damascus will not be the last Islamic capital targeted by "Israel." He called on the people of the region to unite in confronting the occupation.
Ghalibaf further asserted that the Israeli occupation poses a continuous threat to regional security, cautioning that those who stake their country’s stability on relations with "Israel" are "living in a bubble in a turbulent environment."
In this context, he described "Israel" as an enemy of peace, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity throughout the region, emphasizing that "the only language the Israeli entity understands is the language of force."
"The tearing apart of Syria has exposed the illusion of placing hope in the Israeli entity," Ghalibaf said, pointing to "Israel’s" recent destruction of Syrian defense infrastructure as evidence. He criticized those who believed cooperation with "Israel" would bring peace and stability, describing them as "naive."
Ghalibaf concluded by urging Islamic countries to unite to confront and repel the Israeli entity.
