"We must not close our eyes to the diabolical action of Americaâ€ - said Larijani, adding that the U.S. and Israel are very concerned about the steps of Syria and its authority in Lebanon.

â€œBashar al-Assad conducts reforms, we welcome it. We support democracy. That is, it is necessary to conduct reform or change. The same situation dominates also in Yemen and other countries.

He also said that today America did not want stability in Lebanon. But despite all the steps, through the efforts of the Lebanese government stability is maintained: â€œFor this defeat America is trying to sow a new disorder. It created the court, bias is visible now. In this court there is so much political cargo that we can already say that its decision will not be correct. The question is: how many crimes committed Zionist regime so far? Why was not organized the trial of the crimes in Gaza, a crime against the Freedom Flotilla, which delivered aid to the people of Gaza?â€
