Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf said on December 3 that Iran and the Resistance Front—a network of Tehran-aligned forces across the Middle East—are following a common path toward shared strategic goals in the region.
The remarks came as tensions escalate across the Middle East, particularly following developments in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. Ghalibaf stressed that unity between Tehran and its regional allies is crucial to addressing common challenges.
He noted that despite external pressures and attempts to sow division, ties between Iran and resistance forces remain strong, rooted in consistent ideological foundations and strategic interests. He also reaffirmed Iran's commitment to supporting regional resistance movements through all necessary means.
The statement is seen as a significant diplomatic signal from Tehran aimed at reinforcing its role in the Middle East amid complex international talks on regional affairs. Ghalibaf's comments were made ahead of important meetings among stakeholders on the Palestinian issue and regional security.
