Odaily Planet Daily reports that Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani stated in an interview on March 17 that Iran has no intention of blockading the Strait of Hormuz or attacking neighboring countries. However, since enemies are firing at Iran, Iran cannot simply sit and wait; it must respond. This is human nature and an inalienable right of Iran. Larijani also said that the United States and Israel believe they can intercept Iranian missiles or destroy Iranian facilities with bombers, but this is not the case. Iran has already prepared its deployment. Iran can fully rely on its own capabilities and technology to counter enemy attacks. (CCTV International News)
