Iran’s Parliament Speaker, Mohammad-Bagher Qalibaf, declared on Tuesday that the Israeli regime’s “aggressive hand” must be severed from the region to halt its policy of “borderless crime.”
Addressing the legislature, Qalibaf asserted that under its “criminal prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu,” the Israeli regime has adopted a strategy that recognizes no boundaries. “For them, there is no difference between Tehran, Beirut, Doha, Islamabad, Khartoum, and Istanbul,” he stated.
The senior official’s remarks came in response to ‘Israel’s’ recent assassination of a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, Haytham Ali Tabatabai, and four other members of the group in an airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburbs.
Qalibaf emphasized that despite Tel Aviv’s attempts to destabilize the region, Hezbollah remains “strong and unwavering,” and continues to move steadily forward. He described Israel as an enemy “devoid of human values” that does not consider itself bound by any international rules or agreements.
In the face of such an adversary, Qalibaf argued that only “courage and power” could serve as a deterrent. He stressed that preventing the regime from continuing on its criminal path is essential for restoring stability to the region.
The top legislator expressed certainty that the region’s resistance movements would confront ‘Israel’s’ unabated atrocities with a coordinated and prudent response at the appropriate time. “This situation cannot continue. Patience has its limits,” he warned, adding that the resistance “calculates carefully but acts decisively… it does not seek war, but it fights well.”
Qalibaf also condemned global powers and international organizations, accusing them of bearing witness to the regime’s “brutality” while “lacking the will to stop it.”
His sentiments echoed those of Mohsen Rezaei, a former chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), who stated during a ceremony on Monday that Israel’s targeted killings of resistance commanders are only accelerating its own demise.
