Ghalibaf made the comments in a message on Thursday to mark the 40th day after the martyrdom of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khamenei.
“We do not believe in separating the battlefield from diplomacy at all, and we have only one field, which is the field of defending the rights of the Iranian people,” he wrote, according to a summary of his detailed message given by the local Iranian media.
“Either these rights are secured in a military struggle or through a diplomatic struggle,” he explained.
“We can force them to pay Iran's dues using both military and diplomatic means,” further stressed the speaker.
“The historic retreat of the United States and the acceptance of Iran's 10-point peace plan in principle, not only is admitting to Iran’s victory [on the battlefield], but also we consider this victory an incomplete step,” Ghalibaf further said.
A ceasefire came into force since early on Wednesday when the US President Donald Trump agreed to ten-point ceasefire proposal from Iran, replacing his 15-point proposal. The two-week ceasefire is mediated by Pakistan.
According to Ghalibaf earlier today, Lebanon, which came under huge airstrikes by the Zionist regime since yesterday despite the ceasefire, is an inseparable part of the Iranian ten-point ceasefire proposal.
