Iran has made notable achievements after 1979 Islamic Revolution, Hezbollah chief says
Tehran (KNA) - The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement has praised the outstanding achievements made in Iran, stressing that the Islamic Republic is now top-ranked in many fields both in the Middle East region and the world four decades after the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"Iran was under the significant influence of the United States during the [ousted monarchical] Pahlavi regime, and was Israel's closest ally as well," Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said as he addressed his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital Beirut on Wednesday evening.
"This was the case until a courageous man (late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini) came out of Qom after years and years of observation, and stood against the Pahlavi regime's dictatorship and its complete submission to the US," Nasrallah added.
The Hezbollah chief then underscored that late Imam Khomeini had no personal benefits in leading the revolution, and merely sacrificed his life for the sake of Allah.
