The Speaker of the Iranian Shura Council, Muhammad Baqir Qalibaf, met with the Commander of the Pakistani Army, Field Marshal Asim Munir, today, Saturday, in Tehran.
During the meeting, Qalibaf assured the Pakistani army commander that his country “will not give up its rights and the rights of its people, especially with a party that did not have any credibility in the first place, and in whom there is no trust.”
He continued: “We were in a negotiation process when Washington carried out its aggression against us, and now we are negotiating to end it,” and “we were in a truce mediated by Pakistan, but the United States violated the covenant and imposed a naval blockade, and now it is seeking to lift it.”
He added, “Just as Iran defended Iran’s entity with courage and ability on the battlefield, it will also seek in the arena of diplomacy with intelligence and strength to fulfill the country’s legitimate rights and secure its national interests.”
Qalibaf pointed out that “the military knows better than anyone else the value of peace, but they themselves never allow their country’s dignity and rights to be trampled upon.”
Qalibaf also stressed that the Iranian armed forces “rebuilt themselves during the truce period.”
He vowed that “the Iranian response to Washington will be more severe and bitter than the first day of the war, if US President Donald Trump commits a mistake again against Iran.”
