The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Ghalibaf, has struck again. In press statements taken up by the local agency, Al-Markaziahe decided, on behalf of the Lebanese, that their reference is none other than the supreme leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to Al-Markazia, Ghalibaf noted that “Ali Khamenei, the officials and the Iranian people represent the main pillars for the Lebanese people”, who, it should be noted, have a completely different opinion on the issue.
The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament also expressed “his gratitude” to the Lebanese and their leaders “for the welcome” they gave him during his visit to Lebanon on October 12.
On Thursday, the outgoing Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, was outraged by comments that Ghalibaf had made in an interview with Figaroand had asked the outgoing Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdallah Bou Habib, to summon the Iranian charge d’affaires in order to convey the Lebanese protests to him. Ghalibaf declared to Figaro that Tehran was ready to engage in talks with Paris for the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which involves the withdrawal of Hezbollah to the north of the Litani and the deployment of the army , alongside UNIFIL, in the southern part of the country.
The President of the Iranian Parliament also estimated that “Israel is accumulating losses on the ground, which makes the battle (with Hezbollah) extremely difficult for it”.
