Ghalibaf: Negotiation and war are both tools for achieving lasting deterrence

Parliament speaker, in his second video conference with the public: Before signing the memorandum, I said that the Americans would not honor their commitments. That is why we structured the memorandum in two stages, because we did not trust them. First, we fought well and achieved a strategic advantage; then we forced America to accept the understanding and imposed a defeat document on the enemy, which the whole world said showed Iran won the war.

This helped our military forces to become stronger, Hezbollah of Lebanon became stronger, and with this understanding, we found enough opportunities and resources to strengthen our own power components.

When we say that we both fight and negotiate, we do not mean that we fight endlessly or negotiate forever; Rather, what we mean is that we fight to make the enemy desperate and force him to give in to the rightful demands of our nation.
