Ghalibaf lashes out at Rubio on weapons' spending

TEHRAN, Apr. 01 (MNA) – Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sarcastically hit back at US Secretary of State Marco Rubio who made meddlesome remarks on Iran's defense power.

In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Ghalibaf reacted to Rubio's remarks, writing, “If they hadn't spent on weapons, we could've seized their oil fields in 48 hours and armed Israel to create new Gazas—that's the 'American Dream'"—adding emphatically: "NEVER!"
