Qalibaf emphasized that Iran’s strength is grounded in national unity, economic growth, safeguarding the people’s purchasing power, stabilizing markets, addressing managerial imbalances, expanding strategic partnerships, and strengthening the country’s defense capabilities.

He emphasized that a strong and united Iran remains the “nightmare of its enemies.”, Iran Press reported.

Qalibaf stated that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza by killing civilians and depriving them of necessities, while paradoxically being applauded in the U.S. Congress.

He contrasted this with the abduction of Venezuela’s president, saying that Caracas is punished not for genocide, but for refusing to surrender its mineral and fossil resources to Washington.

He described the U.S. as a “mad man” resorting to hard power amid the decline of its global influence, calling it the “end of international law” and the rise of the “law of the jungle.”

The remarks reflect Tehran’s narrative of resistance against Western pressure, portraying Iran’s internal unity and external alliances as the path to counter global instability.
