Iranian Parliament Speaker: Blocking the Strait of Hormuz is an Act of Self-Defense

Odaily News According to CCTV International News, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated in an interview on March 17th that Iran had no intention of blocking the Strait of Hormuz or attacking neighboring countries. However, as the enemy is firing upon Iran, Iran cannot simply wait for death and must respond. This is human nature and an inalienable right of Iran. Ghalibaf also mentioned that the United States and Israel believe they can intercept missiles launched by Iran and destroy Iranian facilities with bombers, but the reality is not so. Iran has already made its deployments. Iran can fully rely on its own capabilities and technology to counter enemy attacks. (CCTV International News)
