TEHRAN(Basirat): Addressing a ceremony held in the Lebanese city of Tyre to mark the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Sheikh Qassem said Iran is “a great blessing” for the region, protecting it from the Israeli expansionism.
Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement’s
second-in-command, Sheikh Naim Qassem, highlighted reasons behind the US
and Israeli hostilities toward the Iranian nation and said the Islamic
Republic has protected the region from the Zionist regime’s expansionist
moves.
Addressing a ceremony held in the Lebanese city of Tyre
to mark the anniversary of the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution,
Sheikh Qassem said Iran is "a great blessing” for the region, protecting
it from the Israeli expansionism.
The Islamic Republic has
supported nations and their independence, the cleric said, adding that
Iran also backs the Resistance Front and for this reason, the US is
confronting the Islamic Republic.
He went on to say that the US
wants "a weak and disintegrated region” and backs the occupier regime
of Israel to force regional nations to give in to its demands.
The
Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime 39 years ago, on
February 11, 1979, ending 2,500 years of monarchic rule in the country.
The revolution, led by the late Imam Khomeini, established a new political system based on Islamic values and democracy.
