Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has stated that the United States is seeking an "honourable exit" from the Middle East as foreign powers lose their influence in the region. Ghalibaf made these remarks following the assassinations of two key commanders by the United States in January 2020.
Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who headed Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces, and Qassem Soleimani, who led Iran's Quds Force, were both killed in a US drone strike near Baghdad airport. Ghalibaf honored the fallen commanders, stating that their deaths were the result of their struggle and their "blessed blood."
Ghalibaf emphasized that in the new regional order, foreign powers are diminishing their interference in the relations between countries. He added that the United States is seeking a "honourable exit" from the Middle East, while the Zionist regime's ambitious project of establishing a "from the river to the sea" zone is becoming a "pipe dream."
