Parliament speaker reiterates Iran's support on visit to Beirut
He told reporters upon arrival that he came to Beirut to convey a message from Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as well as Iranian officials saying, “As always, we stand in solidarity with the Lebanese people, government, and resistance.”
He stressed that he would later in the day leave Lebanon for Geneva, Switzerland, where he is scheduled to attend the 149th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) taking place on October 13-17.
At the IPU meeting, Qalibaf said he would “deliver the message of the innocence of the people of Gaza and Lebanon, elaborate on our duties in the international arena in supporting the oppressed, and support the innocence of the people of Lebanon and Palestine.”
Qalibaf, himself, piloted the flight to Beirut amid the ongoing Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon.
