TEHRAN – Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has congratulated Lebanon on its Liberation Day anniversary.

In a letter to his counterpart Nabih Berri on Monday, Larijani said the victory was owing to Berri’s efforts alongside those of other prominent figures to free parts of Lebanon from Israeli grip in 2000, ILNA reported.

On May 25, 2000, the Israeli army withdrew from territory in Southern Lebanon, marking the end of the South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000).
