Lebanon speaker backs Iran nuclear program

Beirut - Taqrib News Agency (TNA) - "Why the pressure and sanctions continue on it? While "Israel" is a nuclear-armed country and even encouraged to the point of signing an agreement less than two weeks with the European Organization for Nuclear Research to become a partner in the European nuclear physics laboratory? Why the authorities of the UN are always a double standard in various areas? Why Iran and why focusing on Iran? The short answer is the support of Iran to the Palestinian people and their rights and their just cause," Berri raised to stress the double-standard policies adopted by the West to address their nuclear concerns.

Berri spoke at the Tehran conference in support of a sustained diplomatic campaign aimed at exposing "Israeli" crimes as well as improvising ways for saying "no" to "Israel" and America.

He congratulated the Islamic Republic of Iran to start the Bushehr plant to generate electric power, hoping to reach maximum its capacity soon.

"We greet the Islamic Republic of Iran's president, government, parliament and people, on the achievements of development in all areas, which is visible every time, as well the progress in the field of medicine, science and technology, and on the achievements of this country made in the defense works on land, sea and air," the senior Lebanese official said.

The parliament speaker reiterated that Hezbollah remains to be a viable force of deterrence against "Israel".

He also brought to attention Lebanon's non acceptance of giving Israel a free reign in its off-shore natural resources.

Berri also warned on the other hand Israel against designs to grab our natural resources describing such attempts as rendering the Jewish state illegible for peace.

He also accused "Israel" of working for the dismemberment of Lebanon and Arab World with the intention of creating tension-ridden countries.

Berri came out in defense of Assad's regime, accusing a number of Arab nations without naming them of funding anti-Syrian government protests. He challenged those Arabs to channel all such resources in support of the Palestinians.

He concluded that the conspiracy was to dismember Lebanon and Syria in favor of Israeli interests.
