Galibaf: USA Used More Ammunition in Iran Than Vietnam

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammed Baqir Galibaf evaluated the US attacks against Iran.

According to reports in the Iranian press, Galibaf argued that the US used more ammunition in the attacks launched jointly with Israel on February 28 than it did during the Vietnam War.

Galibaf said, "What we are witnessing today is a war of wills. You saw that the firepower used by the enemy in Iran was greater than that used during the Vietnam War. However, our people stood firm and no results were achieved."

"WE NEED TO REACH A CERTAIN LEVEL OF DETERRENCE"

Galibaf said, "We need to reach a certain level of deterrence in order not to enter the cycle of war, peace and the damaging effects of war. Our country must move on the path of stability."

The USA supported South Vietnam against communist North Vietnam in the Vietnam War, which started in 1955, and directly intervened in the conflict in 1965. The Washington administration withdrew its last combat troops from Vietnam in 1973.
