Regional states honor Lebanon: Ahmadinejad

Tehran, Nov 17, IRNA President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sunday that Lebanon was a source
of honor and respect for regional states for its victory over the
Zionist regime 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 the Zionist regime has
destroyed selfishness of world arrogance and that of the Zionist
regime as well.

He noted that the future belongs to true believers and the faithful.

"Iran's Supreme Leader, as well as its government, nation and senior
officials are proud of supporting the Lebanese nation," President
Ahmadinejad said.
