| 2008-12-15 | |
(Xinhua) -- Lebanon's Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah received an honorary doctorate from an Iranian university in Isfahan, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Sunday.
The degree was received by an envoy in Nasrallah's absence. Nasrallah thanked Iran, in a statement read at the ceremony, for "25 years of support and aid for the Hezbollah organization and its warriors in southern Lebanon," adding that his group had won "two big triumphs" against "the most equipped armed forces in the region," referring implicitly to Israel. He also stressed in the statement that "Iran's support was always the main factor in the victories and it always will be." | |
