Iranian Parliament Speaker Calls for Unified Muslim Response After Nasrallah’s Death
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf called on Muslim nations to take a strong and united stand against Israel on Sunday, urging legislative bodies and governments to deter future “violations of international law and human rights.” Ghalibaf made the remarks during a phone conversation with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
Ghalibaf also expressed condolences over the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Dahieh, a suburb of Beirut, on Friday. The same attack also claimed the life of senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
