The story in 5 lines · by baba

  • Iranian Parliament Speaker praised the October 7th attack.
  • He called the attack a "historic event" and "victorious."
  • Ghalibaf claimed the attack shattered Israel's security.
  • He cited Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in his speech.
  • The speaker accused Iran's leadership of being detached from reality.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, delivered a speech praising the "historic event" of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. Ghalibaf described the brutal massacre as a "victorious" act that "shattered the illusion of security," ignoring the destruction and suffering caused by the terror operations orchestrated by Tehran.

In his address, Ghalibaf lauded the terrorists involved in the October 7th atrocities, framing the attacks as a strategic achievement. He cited Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, claiming the event led to an "irreparable defeat" and the complete collapse of Israel's security concept.

Ghalibaf's rhetoric, which attempts to portray severe war crimes as a strategic success, highlights the Iranian leadership's detachment from reality. The speech suggests a willingness by Iran to endanger regional stability to disseminate propaganda.
