“We consider the Islamabad memorandum a declaration of the United States’ defeat,” Speaker of the Iranian Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in his speech at the opening of the 20th Session of the Conference of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (PUIC) member states in Baku, APA reports.
“This war was not merely a military confrontation. It was an attempt organized to alter the strategic balance of the region and impose its will on a free nation. Those who planned the aggression believed that through military pressure, blockade, psychological operations and acts of terror, they could force the Iranian people to retreat and rewrite the region’s equations according to their wishes. However, what happened was completely contrary to their calculations. The Iranian people demonstrated that the era of forcibly imposing one’s will on independent nations has come to an end. The world saw how Iran resisted and how it achieved victory,” Ghalibaf stressed.
He claimed that despite suffering losses, Iran had defeated the United States and Israel.
“Although this war inflicted heavy damage on our people, it revealed one truth: under the most difficult conditions, the resistance and determination of a nation can overturn all the calculations of aggressors. Lasting peace is not achieved through surrender, pressure and humiliation, but through strength, dignity and mutual respect,” he said.
He described the memorandum reached with the United States as a defeat for Washington.
“The Islamabad agreement was also the result not of pressure and coercion, but of the resistance and strength of the Iranian people. This agreement demonstrated that dialogue produces results only when the other side abandons attempts to forcibly impose its will on an ancient and civilized nation and recognizes its rights. That is why we consider the Islamabad memorandum a declaration of the United States’ defeat,” he said.
