Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah , confirmed on Tuesday that the American project in the region aims at hegemony and seizure of the region’s wealth of oil and gas.
Commemorating the third martyrdom anniversary of Haj Qassem Suleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in a ceremony held in Beirut’s Dahiyeh Sayyed Shohada complex, Sayyed Nasrallah gave a televised speech in which he tackled several local and regional issues.
“September 11th gave impetus to the American project to enter Afghanistan and Iraq and get close to Iran and Syria, and for hegemony and seizing the region’s wealth of oil and gas,” Sayyed Nasrallah said.
He stated that what happened in the Arab world, starting with Tunisia and ending with Syria, had frightened even America’s allies, and the Americans bet on it to destroy countries.
Nasrallah indicated that Syria and Iran have been withstood to the American pressures, and the Iraqi resistance carried out excellent operations against the American forces.
He said: “Those who launched the resistance in Iraq are the Iraqi factions and currents, and Soleimani provided training and planning alongside Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, adding that if there were no Soleimani and Mughniyeh, America would have occupied the region.”
“Unfortunately, some people imagine that the national forces and resistance movements are affiliated with Iran, but the truth is the opposite,” Nasrallah noted.
Commenting on the frequent attacks on Palestinians and the latest storming of Al-Aqsa mosque, Sayyed Nasrallah said the new Zionist government, which gathers madmen, is hastening its end by committing mistakes and stupidities. “We tried Netanyahu for a long time and we do not fear him.”
“Attacking Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islamic and Christian holy sites in Palestine, and Al-Quds will not only blow up the situation inside Palestine, but may ignite the entire region,” he warned, pointing that one can be “optimistic about the new Israeli government, because that might speed up the demise of the temporary entity.”
“We will not tolerate any change in the rules of engagement or any violation of the de facto situation at the level of defending Lebanon. We are facing a government in the Zionist entity that includes corrupt, insane, and extremists, and all of them do not scare us because we have tried them before.”
