Tehran (IP) – Iran’s Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, addressed the recent U.S. presidential election in his opening remarks at Sunday’s parliamentary session, emphasizing that changes in foreign leadership do not affect Iran’s capability to secure its interests, provided the nation relies on internal strength and the determination of its people.

Iran PressIran news: Ghalibaf remarked that, while there may be significant differences in the approaches of those elected as U.S. president, the real determinant of Iran's success lies in its national power and a firm, intelligent stance based on "revolutionary rationality."

"The main point," he stated, "is that Iran's national power and its strong, wise conduct shape how adversaries behave toward us. Our strength is anchored in the Iranian people's commitment to divine principles and their ability to harness domestic resources to build a solid foundation for military, economic, political, and social power."

The Speaker underscored that Iran's independence and avoidance of dependency on foreign countries form the core principle of the Islamic Republic. He credited all achievements and advancements across various fields to this fundamental commitment.

Reiterating his message, Ghalibaf concluded, "The comings and goings of other countries' presidents will have no effect on Iran's capacity to secure its interests as long as we rely on our internal strengths and the determination of the Iranian people."
