The Iranian parliament speaker said Wednesday evening that America aims to harm Iran whenever it can, and that this is not limited to war, negotiations, or the current US president. He stated that Iran's approach must be based on national and security interests, realistic and long-term, and that the country has no choice but to rely on its own capabilities and strengthen itself, according to a report on Telegram.
The Iranian parliament speaker issued a statement Wednesday evening accusing the United States of seeking to harm Iran at every opportunity, regardless of the context — war, diplomacy, or the current US administration. He emphasized that Iran's approach must be grounded in national and security interests, be realistic and long-term, and that the country has no choice but to rely on its own capabilities. The statement is the latest in a series of public remarks by Iranian officials reinforcing a hardline posture. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar statements by the Iranian parliament speaker, including on June 8 when he argued that diplomacy and military action are complementary, and on July 10 when he stated that only those prepared for war can negotiate with the United States. The current statement does not indicate any specific policy shift but underscores the leadership's public stance of self-reliance and resistance to US pressure.
