Iranian Top Diplomat Congratulates Lebanon on Liberation Day
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif offered his congratulations to the Lebanese people and government as well as Hezbollah Resistance Movement on the 17th anniversary of the liberation of South Lebanon from the Israeli occupation.
In separate messages to Lebanese Foreign Minister Jubran Basil and Hezbollah Secretary General Seyed Hassan Nasrallah on Thursday, Zarif hailed the anniversary of the Arab country’s victory over the Tel Aviv regime.
Lebanon on Thursday commemorated the 17th anniversary of the Israeli withdrawal from the country, known as Resistance and Liberation Day.
Hezbollah forced the Israeli military out of the southern parts of Lebanon on May 25, 2000, after more than two decades of occupation.
People in Lebanon consider May 25 as the beginning of a dramatic change in the region.
The Lebanese commemorate the day as a national holiday and see it as a transformation that changed the regional equations for good, and put an end to the invincibility myth of the Israeli military.
