Iran: Ayatollah Amoli Larijani says that reducing tensions requires standing up to Western "oppression".

The Chairman of the Media Discernment Council called American-Zionist leaders and their European supporters criminals, saying that they will not stop the oppression except through "the language of power. He said that the words of the European foreign ministers about reducing tensions and that the Straits of Hormuz do not have a military solution were due to the effects of the war on their economies and "very serious consequences for hydrocarbon prices." He added that the sanctions on Iran, the war on the Iranian people, and decades of occupation and massacre in Palestine and Lebanon were considered by them to be unimportant.
