Iran-US dispute fundamental, unsolvable: Deputy Parl. speaker
Iran’s Deputy Speaker of Parliament Ali Nikzad said the takeover of the US embassy in 1979 was a response to decades of oppression, adding that the dispute between Iran and the US is fundamental and will not be resolved.
Ali Nikzad, Deputy Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, addressed the chamber on Wednesday, marking the anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran. He began by offering condolences on the martyrdom of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra (SA) and commemorating Student Day, noting the sacrifices of students killed near the University of Tehran.
Nikzad stressed the importance of strengthening genuine student organizations to build a deeply religious, revolutionary, and “heroic” future generation through proper educational planning.
Referring to the anniversary of the US embassy takeover, described by the late Imam Khomeini as the “second revolution,” Nikzad rejected claims that the move was impulsive or irrational. He argued that the takeover reflected “decades of oppression and humiliation” inflicted upon the Iranian nation through US-backed regimes.
