Pars Today – The Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament stressed that the recent war showed that victory comes from the will of nations, not modern military equipment, adding that the Strait of Hormuz will not be reopened through military action.

According to Pars Today, Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, expressed appreciation for Iran’s armed forces and all military and security combatants, describing them as powerful arms in crushing the country’s enemies.

He said that today, thanks to these efforts, a new chapter in the history of the Iranian nation has begun. He added that the Islamic system has driven the occupying Zionist regime, the United States claiming superpower status, and their regional allies into a strategic defeat and a devastating quagmire.

Nikzad stated that the United States, in a miscalculation, thought it could swallow Iran but instead faced a strong barrier in the form of the Iranian nation and received a powerful slap.

He stated: “Today the cursed President of the United States and their regional rabid dog are trapped in a deadlock from which they cannot find any exit route except by surrendering to the will of the great Iranian nation. In this war, our armed forces compensated for the shortcomings of the U.S. education and training system and effectively taught them several lessons in history and geography, so they would understand that the heirs of a several-thousand-year-old civilization and followers of Imam Hussain (pbuh) school cannot be forced into submission with bombs and missiles. They must study the history of this nation and once again become familiar with the geography of the region in order to accept their own defeat.”

Ali Nikzad emphasized that a new global power order has emerged, and the world must accept that it is dealing with a global power that does not surrender under any pressure.

He added that the Strait of Hormuz had long been used peacefully thanks to the dignity of the Iranian nation, but it was the other side that instigated war. “Now they must adapt to the new order of this strategic waterway. This strait will not be reopened through military operations,” he said.
