Qalibaf: Israel seeking revenge on Iranians through economic, psychological warfare

Iran Press TV

Sunday, 27 July 2025 8:45 AM

Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf says the Israeli regime is trying to avenge its defeat in the recent 12-day war by waging economic and psychological warfare and launching psychological operations against the Iranian people.

"Now, the enemy wants to take revenge on the powerful and oppressed people of Iran more than ever through economic warfare and psychological offensives," Qalibaf said as he took the podium during an open session of the Parliament on Sunday morning.

He also expressed his deepest condolences on the 40th day since the martyrdom of high-ranking Iranian military commanders, nuclear scientists and ordinary citizens throughout the June 13-25 war.

"With this criminal act, the Zionist criminal gang has once again proven that assassination is its inseparable trait; and it does not differentiate between military personnel and civilians, the elderly and children, as well as men and women," the senior Iranian legislator said.

Qalibaf added, "This illegitimate offspring and cancerous tumor of the Western world, which is currently causing one of the greatest tragedies in history in Gaza, must be stopped as soon as possible, before it plunges the entire region and the world into further chaos."

He said it is now the turn of the country's business officials and economic figures to take the stage and perform their tasks.

Turning to the terrorist attack by militants from the so-called Jaish al-Adl terrorist group on a courthouse in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan, Qalibaf stated that the perpetrators targeted innocent people, including women and children.

"The blind terrorist crime in Zahedan was an act of revenge on the people, who with their solidarity and unity, resisted the military invasion of Zionists and Americans on dear Iran," the parliament speaker noted.

Qalibaf said that Iranian armed and security forces will confront other elements and perpetrators of this crime, just as they decisively dealt with the assailants on Saturday morning.

At least six people were killed and twenty-two others injured in the attack. Iranian security forces eliminated three assailants during the ensuing clashes.

Sistan and Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan, has witnessed several terrorist attacks targeting both civilians and security forces over the past years.

Terrorist groups carrying out attacks against Iranian interests in the southeastern and southwestern parts of the country are believed to be linked to foreign spy agencies.
