Larijani: US, "Israel" Seek to Avenge 2006 Defeat from Syria

Local Editor

Iranian House Speaker Ali Larijani stressed that "the grave impacts of "Israel's" failure in the 33-day war against Lebanon in 2006 have ripped through the Zionist regime."

"Now, the US and "Israel" intend to take revenge from Syria," Larijani said.

Addressing a parliament session in Tehran Monday, Larijani congratulated Lebanon on the anniversary of the victory.

"On this day in 2006, the Zionist regime accepted a scandalous defeat after 33 days of war and became a political corpse in the Middle-East. The day is correctly named as the Day of the Islamic Resistance," he confirmed.

In parallel, Larijani highlighted that ""Israel's" defeat in the 33-day war caused many problems for that regime and damaged its reputation internationally."

"That's why they waged a 22-day war (in Gaza Strip) is a bid to get rid of the internal and international stalemate," he emphasized.
