President Ahmadinejad Underlines Regional, Int’l Importance of Holy Qods

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated Iran’s full support for the liberation of Palestine and the holy Qods, saying Palestine has grown into a crucially important issue not just for the Muslims, but for the entire world nations.

The issue was raised in a meeting between Ahmadinejad and Deputy Chairman of Hamas politburo Mussa Abu Marzuq in Tehran on Tuesday.

Palestine is a vital issue for the region and the entire world, the Iranian president said while calling liberation of Palestine and holy Qods as a religious issue.

He stressed that the regional developments are moving towards fostering support for the aspiration of Palestine liberation, adding the Iranian nation will stand by the oppressed Palestinian nation until they achieve victory.

Early in February 2012, Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei categorically denied Iran’s interference in Bahrain, but meantime stressed Iran’s direct involvement in the Palestinian and Lebanese confrontation against Israel, including the Lebanese Summer 2006 33-day resistance against the Zionist regime.

“Wherever Iran interferes, it announces it in a very straightforward manner. For instance, we interfered in confrontations against Israel, which resulted in the (Lebanese) victory in the 33-day war and (Palestinians’ victory in) the 22-day (Gaza) war,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing millions of Friday Prayers worshippers on Tehran University Campus at the time.

“In future too, we will support and help everyone who opposes the Zionist regime,” the Leader underscored.

“The Zionist regime is a real cancerous tumor that should be cut and will be cut, God Willing,” Ayatollah Khamenei underscored.
