Iranian nation to stand by Palestinian nation for ever

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said on Tuesday that the Iranian nation will always support the Palestinian resistance movement and stand by the nation. He made the remark during a ceremony in the beginning of the parliament’s session when parliamentarians paid tribute to a number of former Palestinian prisoners who spent many years in the Zionist regime's prisons. He said the released Palestinian prisoners are signs of the non-human and anti-human rights behaviors of the Zionist regime. He reiterated that the release of the Palestinian prisoners is a result of the resistance of nations and the Islamic awakening, adding that the supports to the Palestinian nation and pressures on the Zionist regime forced Tel Avive to accept exchange of prisoners. Larijani stressed that this in itself proves that the route to victory is resistance and not compromise, adding that the compromising attitudes of some Arab leaders towards the Zionist regime will bear no fruits. He also said that the Iranian officials, the Supreme Leader in particular, have always supported the Palestinian cause and stressed that it was the duty of all Iranians to safeguard the invaluable inheritance of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini which is to defend the Palestinian cause. The speaker further noted that the Islamic Awakening in the region is a result of the resistance of Palestinian and Iranian nations the effect of which is quite tangible in the region.
