(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - "The NAM summit in Tehran specially means failure for the US, the Zionist regime (of Israel) and Britain who tried hard to undermine the Tehran summit and lower the level of participants in the gathering because the Tehran summit is held at a high level (of participation)," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Kazzem Jalali stated.
"An Iran which they were seeking to isolate is hosting 120 countries now," the Iranian lawmaker said, adding that Zionist, American and British media, BBC in particular, were distressed by the NAM summit.
Earlier, a senior Iranian military official stressed that the world states' high-level participation in the 16th heads-of-state summit of the NAM in Tehran has provided a best chance for independent states to take a strong stance against the world arrogant powers.
"Now that the NAM members have said a 'big no' to the US and the hegemonic system to (come to Tehran and) hold the 16th summit at the highest level, the conditions are prepared more than ever for taking a strong stance against the world arrogance and punish the White House and its European supporters," Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Brigadier General Massoud Jazzayeri said on Monday.
"This covert will can grow into a public belief and action and greatly shock the feeble body of the oppressive and bullying arrogant powers," he stated.
Tens of world leaders are readying to take part in the NAM summit in Tehran on Thursday, while many of them are accompanied by large delegations to discuss expansion of bilateral ties and cooperation with Iran on the sidelines of the international event.
The 16th NAM summit is held in the Iranian capital, Tehran, from August 26 to 31.
NAM is comprised of some 120 member states and 17 observer countries.
Observes believe that by hosting the conference and taking on the responsibility for NAM leadership, Iran is clearly intent on injecting new life into the most important anti-imperialist international organization.
