Ali Larijani condemned the US attacks on the Pakistani tribal areas in Waziristan
This was the first time an Iranian leader specifically took exception to the US military operations inside Pakistani territory.
Larijani, the speaker of the Iranian parliament, said Iran was concerned about the extent of the devastation and the death toll in Waziristan and that the US had exceeded the limits of the Geneva Convention in fighting terrorism. "Every single day, civilians are falling victim to the US-led fight against terrorism," he said, adding the US was "destroying" Waziristan under the "pretext of fighting terrorism".
