نامه دکتر لاریجانی به روسای پارلمان های کشورهای اسلامی برای مقابله با طرح قلابی معامله قرن بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم السلام علیکم و رحمه الله و برکاته مایلم مراتب انزجار و محکومیت خود را از اقدام رییس جمهور آمریکا در اعلام رونمایی از طرح معامله قرن که در روز سه شنبه ۲۰۲۰/۰۱/۲۸ با حضور نمایندگان رژیم صهیونیستی در واشنگتن صورت گرفت و ناقض کلیه توافقات، قوانین و قطعنامه های بین المللی، منشور سازمان ملل، اتحادیه عرب و سازمان همکاری اسلامی پیرامون حل قضیه فلسطین می باشد، ابراز نمایم. همانگونه که استحضار دارند امت اسلامی و کشورهای مسلمان به موضوع فلسطین به عنوان اولویت اول جهان اسلام و نقطه مشترک بین همه ادیان و مذاهب اعتقاد دارند و با هرگونه تعدی، نقض حاکمیت، تداوم اشغال سرزمین تاریخی فلسطین به پایتختی قدس و کلیه طرح های یکجانبه و تحمیلی مخالفت و مقابله خواهند نمود. رییس جمهور آمریکا بدون مراجعه به سازمان های بین المللی از جمله سازمان ملل و مشورت با طرف های فلسطینی ، صرفا براساس مصالح و منافع شخصی و حزبی و صهیونیستی، تلاش دارد تا اشغال یک سرزمین امت اسلامی را با توسل به زور، رسمی جلوه گر سازد و حقوق مسلم یک ملت مقاوم را به نفع عده ای صهیونیست مصادره نماید. جمهوری اسلامی ایران با ثبت طرح دموکراتیک و سیاسی برگزاری همه پرسی در سرزمین های اشغالی و با مشارکت ساکنین اصلی آن، نزد سازمان ملل، برون رفت از بحران فعلی و حل عادلانه قضیه فلسطین را حق ملت مظلوم و بی دفاع فلسطین می داند؛ بدین وسیله از آن جناب تقاضا دارم در جهت مقابله با طرح قلابی معامله قرن مساعی لازم را داشته و با حمایت از طرح برگزاری همه پرسی و استفاده از ظرفیت دیپلماسی پارلمانی به روند حل بحران فلسطین بیش از پیش کمک نماییم. فرصت را مغتنم شمرده، برای ملت و دولت کشور دوست و برادر، پیشرفت و سربلندی، برای آن جناب، موفقیت روزافزون و بهروزی و برای مردم مقاوم فلسطین پیروزی کامل مسئلت دارم. علی لاریجانی رییس مجلس شورای اسلامی جمهوری اسلامی ایران

Ali Larijani also congratulated the President on the formation of the new Lebanese government.

The pair also spoke about the displaced Syrians in Lebanon, and the need to return to their country now that stability and security returned to most Syrian regions.

On the other hand, Larijani also met Hassan Nasrallah. The two reviewed the situation in the country, as well as ways to face political and economic challenges. His visit coincides with Nasrallah calling on the Arab world to unite against trump and to boycott US products.

Larijani met Nabih Berri at his headquarters in West Beirut and PM Hassan Diab. Berri, in his conversation with Ali, highlighted the strength of national solidarity and issued that unity is the Lebanese people’s only option at this day and time.

This senior foreign official is the first to visit the head of the new government, Hassan Diab since he’s been appointed. He wished the new Lebanese government success in strengthening stability and security in the country. 

Later on Monday, and after concluding his visit, Larijani held a press conference at the Iranian embassy in Beirut, in which he stressed Tehran’s support for the Lebanese Resistance, aka Hezbollah.

He considered that Lebanon, after the formation of the new government, was able to overcome a sensitive stage. Larijani also hoped that the new government will be able to solve all problems and difficulties.

He again expressed his country’s willingness to cooperate with Lebanon in all fields, namely industrial, agricultural, and economic.

Iran, as he pointed out, does not hide its support for the Lebanese Resistance. Describing the resistance and its Secretary-General, Ali Larijani said that Hezbollah is supporting and defending the Lebanese people. Therefore, his country won’t allow other countries to classify Hezbollah as a terrorist movement.

“We, as a friendly country to Lebanon, are willing to support Lebanon in all fields,” Larijani responded when asked about whether any Iranian support for Lebanon might close the door to Western support.

“But we do not commit anyone to this matter and the Lebanese people are mature and resistant,” he added.

“The only party that wants to solve Lebanese problems is the Lebanese people. Lebanon is currently suffering from a problem in the electrical and medicinal sectors, and Lebanon can benefit from Iran’s offers to solve those problems,” he said.

Ali Larijani is an Iranian conservative politician, philosopher, and former military officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He’s been Speaker of the Parliament of Iran since 2008.
