TEHRAN, Dec. 14 (MNA) – During an address delivered in northern Iran on Wednesday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Larijani condemned Trump’s rhetoric of support for “Israeli regime.”

“The Iranian nation will respond strongly to any aggression of US and its allies,” said Ali Larijani on Wednesday in Rasht.

He made the remarks at a ceremony organized to commemorate Mirza Kouchik Khan Jangali, a popular leader who mobilized volunteer forces to restore the independence of Iran at the time Russian forces were occupying the northern Iran and Reza Pahlavi was suppressing patriotic forces in around a hundred years ago.

Hailing the anti-colonialist and ant-imperialist nature of Kuchik Khan’s Uprising, the top lawmaker underlined that all the dimensions of Mirza Kuchik Khan Uprising have not been clarified yet.

“The British and Americans should know that if insist on occupation, the Muslims will not let them escape,” asserted the top legislator after describing Trump remarks on al-Quds as absurd and insulting.

He then affirmed that terrorists are “the output of the same aggressive and occupying countries”. He defended the Lebanese to have the right to defend their country saying that, “when Zionists want to oocupy Beirut, the Lebanese have the right to defend themselves.”
