A group in the Iranian parliament wants to initiate the establishment of an anti-Israel military alliance with a law.
"The draft for the defense and security alliance of the resistance front was put together by 34 (of the 290) MPs and is now to be discussed in the parliamentary committees," said MP Abolfasl Abutorabi on Saturday.
As soon as the draft is passed by parliament, according to Abutorabi, the other "resistance groups" can become members of the alliance.
If Israel attacks one of its members, it should ensure that the allies intervene immediately militarily, logistically, politically and economically, the MP said according to the Tasnim news agency.
The term "resistance front" stands in Iran for groups that do not recognize Israel's right to exist, call for armed struggle against the Jewish state and demand the return of the Palestinians to their "Zionist occupied" areas.

The "resistance groups" include the Shiite militia Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, some Palestinian groups and the Syrian government.
The Israeli Air Force regularly flies attacks on Iranian facilities in Syria, and Israel is in constant conflict with Hezbollah and Palestinian organizations in the Gaza Strip.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has not yet commented on the alliance planned in parliament.
According to observers, it is questionable whether other groups besides the infidel Hezbollah want to join this alliance.
The end of Israel's archenemy and the “liberation of Palestine” have been part of the foreign policy doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran for over 40 years.
The hardliners in particular, who currently have a majority in parliament, hold on to this doctrine and also deny the Holocaust.
However, the hardliners are ultimately unable to implement many of their politically motivated considerations and plans.
