Speaking during a visit Beirut, Iran’s parliamentary security committee chairman said the country would continue to support the Islamist resistance against Israel.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committe said: “There is no doubt that the sacred path that the heroic and courageous Islamic Resistance has chosen for itself is the right path in the face of the occupation of the Zionist regime
