TEHRAN Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of Irans Parliament, delivered a strong speech during Sundays parliamentary session, cautioning versus reliance on foreign powers and emphasizing the strength of the Iranian nation.In his address, Qalibaf indirectly referenced the current meeting and disagreement in between the U.S.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, using it as an example of how nations that depend on external powers ultimately face betrayal and failure.On February 28, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Washington to sign an offer that would offer 50 percent of the countrys oil and unusual minerals to the U.S.
The meeting, however, became a heated dispute after Zelensky indirectly slammed the diplomacy of the U.S.
and Trump.
Vice President JD Vance implicated Zelensky of being thankless and disrespecting the U.S.
in the Oval Office.
Trump also implicated Zelensky of provoking World War Three and blamed him for not wishing to reach a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The conference ended with the checking out Ukrainian president being asked to leave the White House abruptly, cancelling the lunch and joint interview.
Any nation that outsources its security and development to others or puts the tiniest hope or rely on the conceited powers is destined failure, he declared.
The Islamic Revolution was a rational uprising born from the historic experience of the Iranian nation, which released this land from dependence on the most untrustworthy powers worldwide.
Qalibaf went on to slam what he referred to as the hegemonic system of the West, arguing that powerful nations control their allies with empty pledges before deserting them when it suits their interests.
The hegemonic system exploits its allies with unwarranted pledges to achieve its sinister objectives and after that discards them.
They have freely proven that while standing against oppressors might be hard or expensive, befriending them is lethal and harmful, he stated.Quoting the Holy Quran, Qalibaf insisted that arrogant global powers regularly break contracts and trick their expected partners.
He asserted that Irans historical experience has shown this to be specifically true in its transactions with the United States, which he accused of following a pattern of betrayal and extreme demands.
What the Leader of the Islamic Revolution anticipated years agoexposing the insatiable greed of the Westis now noticeable to individuals around the world through the lens of contemporary media, he added, referring to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and his enduring warnings about Western influence.Concluding his speech, Qalibaf highlighted Irans self-reliance and strength, stating that the country would continue to gain from its own experiences and those of others.
