LAHORE:A condolence reference was held at the University of the Punjab in connection with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which was attended by religious, academic and social personalities here on Monday.
The event was organised by the Academic Staff Association of the University of the Punjab. Addressing the gathering, Iranian Consul General Mehran Movahedfar said assassination of Supreme Leader was a grave crime in history and a blatant violation of legal, moral and human principles. He added that the United States wants to implement in Iran the same model it applied in Iraq, Libya and Syria. Referring to the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the 2011 intervention in Libya that led to the fall of the Qaddafi government, he said these actions resulted in instability in those countries, but it is a serious misconception of the United States and Israel that the same model could be applied to Iran. \He alleged that the Zionist state’s reality is based on lawlessness, aggression, crime, lies and deception, and that it has imposed more than twenty wars in the region. According to him, Israel’s objective is to gain control over energy markets.
