Syria paying price for resistance against Israel, Iranian speaker says

Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani says Syria is paying the price for its resistance against the Israeli regime, vowing Tehran’s full support for a political solution to the ongoing crisis in the Arab country, Press TV reports.

Addressing reporters in a joint press conference with Syria’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Jihad al-Laham in Damascus on Sunday, Larijani said the Syrian government and nation should be supported in their resistance against the Israeli regime.

“Many countries whose officials are presently speaking about terrorism and Syria, have stood by the Zionist regime (Israel) in [its] wars against Lebanon and Palestine,” the Iranian Majlis speaker added.
