Why it matters:
Ghalibaf’s speech highlights Iran’s focus on internal unity as a defense against foreign threats. It was the unity among Iranians that enabled them to stand against the Israeli regime in the 12-day imposed war.
The big picture:
As tensions rise over Israeli attacks in Syria and wider conflict risks loom, Iran demands respect for sovereignty and rallies the Islamic world around a shared agenda of resistance and self-determination. Iran’s effort is to reinforce national identity and project unity in the face of external pressure and regional instability.
What he’s saying:
Ghalibaf: “Iran enters all arenas from a position of strength and the Islamic Ummah must unite to confront the expansionist ambitions of the Zionist regime.”
“Countries that define their security through alignment with the criminal regime are living in a bubble amid a storm,” he added.
