Iran’s Parliament Speaker Bagher Qalibaf has praised the nation’s 70-day resistance against the US aggression as a driving force behind what he described as an unprecedented global transformation, signalling the emergence of a new multipolar order.

“The world stands at the cusp of a new order,” Qalibaf said, citing Chinese President Xi Jinping in his remarks.

He added that “the transformation unseen in a century is accelerating across the globe, and I emphasise that the Iranian nation’s 70-day resistance has accelerated this transformation.”

Qalibaf concluded by asserting that “the future belongs to the Global South,” highlighting Iran’s role in shaping a more balanced international system.

The speaker emphasised that Iran’s resilience over the past 70 days — through unity, determination, and revolutionary resolve — has thwarted attempts at aggression and intimidation by the US, Israel, and their regional allies.

According to Qalibaf, this resistance has exposed the fragility of the US-led unipolar world order and accelerated its decline.

Iran’s defiance, he said, has not only protected national sovereignty but also served as a model for nations across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, inspiring a shift away from Western dominance.

Unity, self-reliance, and alignment with the “axis of resistance” can foster a fairer and more equitable international system, he added.
