Nasrallah terms Iran's stance on Palestine as progressive
Beirut, Oct 6, 2007

Lebanese Hizbollah Chief Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah here on Friday evening termed Iran's stance on Palestinian issue and liberation of the holy Qods as courageous and progressive.
Addressing a gathering held on the occasion of International Qods Day in southern Beirut, he said the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, had attached special importance to the issue of Palestine from the very beginning.
Changing the embassy of the Zionist regime in Tehran to the Palestinian embassy was one of Imam's first revolutionary measures following the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, he added.
Nasrallah reiterated that by such an act, Imam Khomeini showed his practical support for the Palestinian nation.
Referring to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech on Friday, he said Iran's revolutionary stance on Palestine and the Holy Qods still continues.
Elsewhere in his speech, Nasrallah referred to the Zionist regime as the root cause of recent terrorist operations in Lebanon.
The Zionists' strategy in Lebanon is to wage war among various tribes, he said adding that the Zionist regime is interested in creating civil war in Lebanon so that the Islamic resistance would be defeated.
Sounds like something to mention on a regular basis in 2008.
