Iran's Ghalibaf: Enemy sought to 'Venezuelanize' Iran

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has delivered a new speech detailing what he calls the enemy's strategic defeat. He claims the United States and Israel were forced to seek a ceasefire within 40 days after their plans for regime change, to 'Venezuelanize' Iran and auction its oil, failed completely. Ghalibaf asserted that attempts to foment internal unrest and to close the Strait of Hormuz also failed, leaving Iran with authority on the battlefield, in the streets, and in diplomacy. He stated that Iran must now use 'power-based diplomacy' to legally and politically secure the rights it achieved militarily.
