Larijani: Iran never seeks to revive Persian empire
Tehran (KNA) - Iranian parliament speaker says Iran never wants to revive the Persian empire, saying Iran has never attacked any other countries since the Islamic revolution.
Speaking during a ceremony in the northern city of Sari on Friday, Ali Larijani said the American authorities threaten Iran but they do not dare to attack it because during the eight years of the imposed war, the Iranians showed how they resist against any aggression.
He also said that the Americans say from time to time that Saudis and Egyptians have asked them to bomb Iran because it wants to revive the Persian empire, emphasizing that Iran never seeks the revival of its ancient empire as the time of empires has expired.
