Imam Khomeini helped set up regional resistance

An Indonesian politician says the Islamic Revolution of Iran motivated other Muslim nations to join a regional campaign against the Zionist regime.

Former Indonesian parliament member, Husnan Bey Fananie was speaking to the Qods News Agency few days ahead of the 36th anniversary of the landmark revolution.

"The Islamic Revolution of Iran has been very inspirational for the Palestinian issue," the lawmaker added.

The politician recalled the views of the late father of the revolution, Imam Khomeini on the Palestinian issue and said the thoughts of the late Imam helped form the pillars of the regional anti-Israeli resistance.

"Imam Khomeini taught the Palestinian people that they must fight for restoring their rights and freedom," Fananie said.
