IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 1, IRNA -- Chairman of the Expediency Council Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said here Tuesday threats made by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran are a psychological war. "America is aware (of the fact) that the Iranian nation will show a severe respond to any adventurism," Rafsanjani said in a meeting with Lebanese National Defense Minister Murad Abdul Rahim. "The United States is unable to settle its problems in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Zionist regime cannot solve problems in Palestine and Lebanon and use such words to shift the blame on others." He appreciated resistance of the Lebanese government and nation in fight against aggression of the Zionist regime and added, "The Islamic Republic of Iran will continue spiritual support for the Lebanese and Palestinian nations (in their campaign) to restore their rights and free their occupied lands." The EC chairman welcomed the stance and policies of the Lebanese government on Zionist regime`s occupation in Palestine and Lebanon and stressed reinforcement of solidarity among the Iranian, Syrian and Lebanese nations and support for the Palestinian people regarding the current regional and international developments. Rafsanjani assessed progress made by Iran in various defense issues as very favorable and voiced Iran`s readiness to exchange experience with Lebanon in this regard. Abdul Rahim, for his part, appreciated Iran`s support for the Lebanese nation and government and said resistance of the Lebanese nation will continue to make the occupied lands free. He criticized ignorance of international organizations on Zionist regime`s crimes, adding the international bodies keep silence on repeated attacks of the Zionist regime but raise hue and cry with least resistance of the Lebanese nation. 2327/1432
