Gate News reports that on March 18, Iran’s 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, enemies are firing at Iran, and Iran needs to respond. This is an inalienable right to self-defense. Larijani also said that the US and Israel believe they can intercept Iranian missiles and destroy Iranian facilities with bombers, but this is not the case. Iran has prepared deployments and can fully rely on its own capabilities and technology to counter enemy attacks.
