Qalibaf: Resistance to domination among defining traits of Spanish nation

Pars Today — Iran’s Parliament Speaker stated that Spain’s support for the Palestinian people and its backing of the Islamic Republic of Iran during the Third Imposed War demonstrate the Spanish nation’s spirit of independence and resistance to domination.

According to Pars Today, citing IRIB News, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, wrote in a social media post:

“I congratulate you, the people of Spain, and the Spanish government on the Spanish national team’s victory at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Your support—as well as that of the team’s players—for the Palestinian people, along with your country’s support for the Islamic Republic of Iran during the Third Imposed War, showed that freedom and resistance to domination are among the defining characteristics of that wise and respected nation.

This valuable triumph and championship have brought joy not only to the people of Spain, but also to many freedom-loving individuals and independent, justice-seeking nations around the world.”
