US-Israel Mischiefs to Disrupt Tehran-Beirut Flights
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
Every dignified person likes to be independent and committed to his faith in the Almighty Creator with the freedom to interact with mutual respect with all other fellow humans while possessing the spirit of resistance against pressures of the anti-social elements to browbeat him/her into submission to their whims.
The same principle applies to nations and the governments they elect to run the administration with the interests of the masses as the base and firm rejection of hegemons intending to meddle in their affairs, occupy their soil, and pit them against their own people as well as neighbours.
Unfortunately, certain regimes or more properly the persons running them adhere to no such principles of self-respect, and are willing to place their necks under the yoke of outsiders and even enemies, whom they think are rich and militarily powerful.
The intention is not to accuse any particular country of being a client state of the Great Satan (US) or its devilish surrogate the illegal Zionist entity, but the policies betray their barely hidden agenda.
The other day peaceful protestors during their legitimate sit-in at Beirut Airport for resumptions of flights from the Islamic Republic of Iran that have of late been stopped due to the threats of Israel, were subjected to teargas firing by their own army, resulting in dangerous escalation of internal strife.
It is not clear whether the unwarranted attack was by some unwise area commander or by the ruling regime.
This could lead to fracture of national unity, since the peaceful protestors belonged to Lebanon’s largest single community, the Shi’a Muslims, whose main political representatives in the government are the Amal Movement and the legendry anti-terrorist movement, the Hezbollah.
Hezbollah urged the government to fulfill its responsibilities towards peaceful sit-ins, insisting that the army investigate the attack on protesters and uphold the military’s role in maintaining internal stability.
Its statement stressed that the sit-in on the road leading to the airport was a peaceful action in condemnation of the Zionist regime and that the military action was an attack on citizens.
The recently formed government should now prove its independence. Israel is the avowed enemy of Lebanon and so is the US. These two satanic entities have no right to dictate Beirut’s relations with Tehran or any other regional country.
In the meantime, the Islamic Republic of Iran in view of its principled policy of humanitarian support for the oppressed nations of the region and the world firmly stands beside the people of Lebanon, as well as of Palestine, and other independent-minded nations and movements.
