Iran's Larijani Congratulates Lebanon on Liberation Day
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani congratulated the Lebanese people and Hezbollah Resistance Movement on the anniversary of the liberation of South Lebanon from the Israeli occupation 15 years ago.
In separate messages to Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah and Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Tuesday, Larijani offered congratulations on the Lebanese Liberation Day on behalf of the Iranian lawmakers and hailed the event as "indelible and memorable".
He said the victory could not have happened without the endeavors of Resistance Movement fighters and the unity of the Arab country's people.
Larijani further whished happiness and dignity for the Lebanese nation.
Hezbollah forced the Israeli military out of the southern parts of Lebanon on May 25, 2000, after more than two decades of occupation.
People in Lebanon consider May 25 as a beginning of dramatic change in the region.
The Lebanese commemorate the day as a national holiday and see it as a transformation that changed the regional equations for good, and put an end to the invincibility myth of the Israeli military.
