Ahmadi-Nejad meets with Israeli-freed Lebanese
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad said yesterday that Lebanon was a source of honor and respect for regional states for its victory over the Israeli forces during their 33-day war against Lebanon in 2006.
"Defending Lebanese nation against the Zionist regime, specially during Israel's 33-day invasion, was not only defending the people of Lebanon but it was also for all regional states and even for the entire humanity," said the president.
He made the remarks in a meeting with a number of families of those captured during the 33-day war. The president said that Lebanon's resistance to Israel has destroyed its arrogance.
"Iran's Supreme Leader, as well as its government, nation and senior officials are proud of supporting the Lebanese nation," President Ahmadi-Nejad said.
