Ahmadinejad: Israeli aggressions on Lebanon aim to revive dead plan of greater Middle East

Originally published

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad said today that Israeli aggressions on Lebanon and Palestine aim to revive the dead plan of a greater Middle East.

He said in his address to a large crowd of people that the US and Britain have abetted Israel to invade Lebanon and should be held accountable for Israeli war crimes.

Ahmadi-Nejad said that Israeli aggressions on Lebanon and Palestine were pre-planned adding that the occupying regime only used as pretext taking the soldiers as captive to exchange them for the Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners in Israeli detention camps.

He said that murder, aggression and plunder formed the nature of the occupying regime adding that Israel serves as lackey for both the US and Britain in the Middle East.

Ahmadi-Nejad criticized international organizations of inaction in the face of Israeli aggressions on Lebanon and Palestine and said that the UN Security Council has been made an instrument for global arrogance.

"The US and UK do not deserve to be permanent member of the Security Council. They have abetted Israeli war crimes and should stand trial.

"They are contemplating to spread the flames of war throughout the Middle East, but, they should fear the fury of the nations.

"Lebanon, is a scene to present the true face of the so-called advocates of human rights. It depicts the oppression to which the Lebanese nation have been subject," Ahmadi-Nejad said.

He praised the Lebanese resistance movement led by Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and said that Israeli aggression is not only against a single nation, but, it is against the entire humanity.

President Ahmadi-Nejad said that Iran calls for an end to the current hostility in Lebanon and the aggressor should pay reparations for the damages it inflicted on civilian infrastructure of Lebanon.

He called on the Hague-based International Court of Justice (ICJ) to bring to justice Israeli officials for the war crimes they perpetrated against civilians of Lebanon and Palestine.

The Iranian president said that personnel of the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Society and ambulances are not immune from Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Palestine and they fell victims to the military attacks of the occupying regime, so that humanitarian aid workers are not able to carry out their own job.
