Assassinations will not help Israel cover up its failures: Qalibaf
Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the Israeli assassinations of senior resistance figures and its crimes across West Asia will not help the regime cover up its failures.
Qalibaf made the remarks at an international conference marking the 30th anniversary of the adoption of the constitution of Tajikistan in the capital city of Dushanbe on Friday.
“The Zionist regime must know that it can’t compensate for its strategic failures with airstrikes and assassination operations,” Qalibad said, stressing that those crimes are, instead, accelerating the pace of the regime's destruction.
Qalibaf noted that the crimes and acts of terrorism committed by Israel over the past year are “a clear sign of the regime’s inability to confront the Palestinian and Lebanese nations.”
Calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, Qalibaf stressed that speakers of parliaments around the world “have a duty” to react to Israel’s brutal killing of women and children and support their call for freedom and justice.
The remarks come amid Israeli aggression on Lebanon that began a few weeks ago. The Israeli attacks on Beirut and other regions have claimed the lives of more than 2,000 Lebanese people.
Tehran-Dushanbe ties
Elsewhere in his remarks, Qalibaf referred to the common history and culture between Iran and Tajikistan, expressing Tehran’s readiness to strengthen ties with Dushanbe.
He stressed that the expanded ties will not only serve the interests of the two nations, but they will also contribute to the region’s stability and prosperity.
Iran proposes signing a regional parliamentary agreement
During his speech, Qalibaf also introduced a proposal for a convergence agreement between the regional countries’ parliaments.
Referring to unilateralism and the violation of the political sovereignty of countries, terrorism, extremism and climate change, Qalibaf said bilateral, multilateral and regional cooperation, “and in one word, effective collective action” is required to confront those challenges and threats that the region and the world currently face.
He noted that the signing of “the Parliamentary convergence agreement for peace and sustainable development” by the parliaments of the regional countries will pave the way for negotiations aimed at resolving misunderstandings and advancing dialogue.
