Lawmaker says Tehran will not abandon regional allies


Iran has shown it will not compromise on its core principles or allow the "Axis of Resistance" to be sacrificed, an Iranian lawmaker said, citing Tehran's military action against Israel in support of Lebanon.
"The Islamic Republic will not allow the 'Axis of Resistance' to be sacrificed, and by attacking Israel in support of Lebanon, it showed that it does not bargain over its values," Fathollah Tavassoli, a member of parliament, said on Friday.
