Iran proud of military assistance to Gaza,says Larijani

TEHRAN (ST)- Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has said that Iran takes pride in providing military assistance to the people of Gaza. 

Larijani made the remarks in an address to MPs during a symbolic demonstration on the campus of the parliament’s building held to express solidarity with the Palestinians, who are under attack from Israel.  

Iran is proud of defending the Palestinian people and will continue to help Palestine at difficult times, Larijani said, adding, “We are proud that our assistance was material and military in nature.” 

Addressing the Arab countries that are worried about the situation that the Palestinians are experiencing, the Iranian Majlis speaker stated, “The Palestinian people do not need speeches and meetings, rather they are in need of a serious support.” 

“If countries want to be proud, they should provide military assistance to the Palestinian people,” he added. 

Iran is ready to stand by the Palestinian people in their struggle against the Zionist regime, Larijani stated.  

He also noted that Israel’s decision to attack Gaza was a strategic mistake.
