Palestinians picked new struggle doctrine after 1979 revolution

An Iranian lawmaker says the Islamic Revolution of Iran that got triumph in 1979 presented the Palestinian nation with a new doctrine in their struggle against the Zionist regime.

Member of the parliamentary committee in national security and foreign policy, Mansour Haqiqatpour was speaking to the Qods News Agency in Tehran on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the landmark revolution that is set to be marked on February 11.

The lawmaker said the Palestinian struggle against Israel was largely inspired by nationalism and socialism before the revolution however following the Iranian uprising, the nation adopted an Islamic approach to the combat under which blood prevails over sword and nation's resolve prevails over government's resolve.

The deputy of parliament said the doctrine has helped the world's freedom-seeking movements to endure an asymmetrical warfare with their adversaries.

"It also stopped Israeli advances in the Middle East," he added.

The lawmaker said the Islamic Revolutionary doctrine has helped turn the once small force of Hezbollah into a superpower that recently prompted Israel to appeal for truce following its heavy blow to Israeli forces in Shebaa Farms.

The lawmaker was alluding to a Hezbollah retaliatory attack on Israeli forces in the occupied Shebaa farms south of Lebanon in late January that left dozens of Israelis dead or injured.
