Tehran: "Zionists should take Hizbollah leader remarks seriously"

Major-General Yahya Rahim Safavi

Israel should take seriously the "brave and wise" remarks of Hizbullah leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, a senior advisor to the Iranian supreme leader said on Monday. According to IRNA, Rahim Safavi made the remark at the ceremony marking the release of the commemorating stamp of martyr Imad Mughnieh, adding that the Israelis should believe in what the late Imam Khomeini and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said to the effect that the time of the Zionists is over.

Safavi, who is the Supreme Leader's top advisor on armed forces affairs, voiced hope that Islamic governments and nations will help the oppressed Palestinians in confronting the brutal Zionist regime. "I wish leaders of certain Arab states would decide to shut down Israeli embassies and sever diplomatic ties with the fake regime," he said, adding, "I wish other Islamic and Arab nations would hold a protest rally just like Iranians to show their anger at the US and the Zionist regime."
