Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the country\u2019s strategy to put an end to the current US-Israeli aggression is to simultaneously pursue war and diplomacy to defend the rights of the Iranian nation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an audio message addressed to the Iranian nation released on Monday, Qalibaf said that Iran is ready to immediately resume its military operations to respond to US and Israeli violations of the ceasefire announced in early April.<\/p>\n

His comments came after Iran carried out missile attacks on the Israeli regime in response to its violations of the terms of the ceasefire, which also include the cessation of hostilities\u00a0in Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The operation came despite ongoing efforts to mediate a deal between Iran and the US that could put a permanent end to the US-Israeli aggression on the country that began in late February.<\/p>\n

Qalibaf, who has led Iran\u2019s indirect negotiations with the US, said Tehran\u00a0has been serious in its pursuit of diplomacy to end the aggression.<\/p>\n

However, he insisted that military response to US violations of the ceasefire in the Persian Gulf and against Israel\u2019s attacks in Lebanon is also a firm part of Iran\u2019s strategy to reach its objectives in the current confrontation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we view diplomacy merely as closed-door negotiations and diplomatic smiles, we are doomed to fail from the very start. And if we rely solely on military operations and war, we cannot fully defend our rights,\u201d Qalibaf said in his message.<\/p>\n

He said the recent escalation in the confrontation with the US and the Israeli regime was due to the continued US blockade on Iran’s maritime trade and Israel\u2019s attacks on\u00a0Lebanon.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmerica\u2019s naval blockade against the Iranian nation and breaching the agreement reached about Lebanon were clear violations of the ceasefire,\u201d said the parliament speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was natural for us to give a decisive response in defense of the rights of the Iranian nation,\u201d Qalibaf said, praising the country\u2019s armed forces for acting \u201cwith authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qalibaf said the situation in Lebanon was an example of how diplomacy alongside military action can push back the aggressor. \u201cDiplomacy does not hinder military operations, nor do military operations hinder diplomacy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He explained that the military domain\u00a0serves as the \u201cdriving engine of power-building,\u201d deterring the enemy from fantasizing about launching\u00a0 an act of aggression. The diplomatic field, he added, must transform that power into tangible, legal and economic achievements.<\/p>\n

The chief negotiator made clear that Tehran has no trust in the US as it engages in diplomacy with Washington. \u201cOur goal is to end the war and establish lasting security, not to normalize relations with the United States,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no trust in the opposite side,\u201d he asserted.<\/p>\n
