Iran has unveiled a monument to honor Jewish-Iranian soldiers who fell during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
In a ceremony in Tehran on Monday, a senior Iranian parliament member praised the Iranian Jewish community’s ties to the state and its “obedience” to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Ruhollah Khomeini before him.
“The explicit stances of the Jewish community in supporting the Islamic republic’s establishment and their obedience to the Supreme Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution demonstrate the bonds that originate from the teachings of divine religions,” the Tasnim news agency quoted Deputy Parliament Speaker Mohammad Hassan Aboutorabi-Fard as saying.
According to the news agency, he also praised “the clear stances adopted by the Jewish lawmakers in condemnation of the American excessive demands [during nuclear negotiations], the Israeli atrocities and the ‘violent and inhumane’ behavior of [Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu.”
