Tehran, YJC. The Majlis Speaker says that support for Palestine is in line with Iran’s national interests.
Ali Larijani believed that the
support that Shah bestowed upon Israel was a disgrace to the people of Iran,
while, despite some belief that support for Palestine comes with heavy cost for
the country, it has boosted national abilities of the Iranian.
He also stated that Iran’s stance on issues of Lebanon,
Iraq, Palestine, and Syria in recent years is grounded in sound strategies,
adding "It has to do with the Leader’s dignity to lead all affairs, including
the nuclear issue, painstakingly and carefully.”
"From the very beginning the Islamic Republic’s
interpretation was that there is some scheme at work to harm the resistance. Many
did not believe that and would say that the Arab Spring is coming, but now
things have grown clear and one can se through Israel and US collaboration,”
Larijani stated.
