“Muslim world proud of Iran’s Operation True Promise”

Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari in a meeting with Sheikh Ali al-Khatib, the deputy of Lebanon’s Supreme Shia Council said the recent Operation True Promise by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) proved that Israeli nuclear capability brings no protection for the regime, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

The comment comes in the wake of the Saturday night operation launched by Iran’s Guards Corps targeting two Israeli military bases in the occupied lands with more than 300 drones and missiles in response to the early April terrorist attack against Iran’s consular section in the Syrian capital Damascus.

Seven Iranian military advisors, including two senior IRGC commanders were martyred in the Israeli attack as Iran vowed harsh response to the terrorist attack.

Hujjat-ul-Islam Shahriari welcomed a proposal by the prominent Lebanese cleric over expansion of cultural cooperation, among other fields, between the Lebanese council and Iranian Islamic unity center.

He stressed the endeavors by World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought to establish a new Islamic civilization based on which the Islamic countries can stand against their common enemies.

The senior cleric detailed the activities by World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought in line with promoting Islamic solidarity.

He also referred to an upcoming international Islamic unity conference to be organized by the World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought in Iraq.

The senior Lebanese scholar, Sheikh Ali al-Khatib for his part praised the Islamic Republic of Iran for endeavors to promote Islamic proximity since the leadership of late Imam Khomeini (RA).
