Blood of martyrs of US-Israeli aggression against Iran 'will not go unavenged’: Qalibaf
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf vows that the Islamic Republic will not let the blood of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and other martyrs of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against the nation “go unavenged.”
The top legislator made the remarks on Tuesday, honoring the memories of the 168 victims, mostly comprising schoolchildren, who were fatally targeted at a school in the southern Iranian city of Minab in the opening airstrikes of the February 28-April 7 aggression.
He pledged that, under the guidance of Ayatollah Khamenei’s son and successor, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the Islamic Republic will “devote all its capabilities to securing the rights of the Iranian people, ending the aggression, punishing the aggressor, and upholding the country’s honor and standing.”

“We will not allow the enemy to target [our] national unity, the popular participation [in support of the Islamic Republic], the nation’s resilience, or the motivation of our officials,” he added.
The official expressed certainty that, benefiting from the directions provided by Ayatollah Khamenei, the nation will emerge triumphant from this historic test and be granted divine victory.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Qalibaf asserted that Iran would not reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which it has shut down in retaliation for foreign aggression, unless the United States lifted an illegal naval blockade it has imposed on the Islamic Republic.
Reopening of the strait, he added, is also conditioned on the unfreezing of the country’s assets, removal of unlawful oil sanctions targeting the nation, and cessation of military threats and aggression on all fronts as well as fulfillment of all other conditions contained in a memorandum of understanding that was signed between Tehran and Washington in June.
Meanwhile, the official warned that the Islamic Republic was prepared to “inflict an even heavier defeat on the enemy” in case of fresh violations.
Qalibaf identified the understanding as “a document of the United States defeat in the legal and political spheres.”
The enemy accepted the understanding “out of desperation to end the war,” he added, noting how Iran’s decisive and successful retaliation against the aggression forced Washington to announce a unilateral ceasefire on April 7 and then agree to the understanding.
Qalibaf described subsequent violations by the US of the understanding as its efforts at “compensating for its heavy political defeat.”
