Nasrallah said the response to the assassination of General Soleimani was not only Iran’s responsibility, but also that of the entire axis of resistance.
The Hezbollah chief further noted that US act of terror marks the start of a new phase for the entire Middle East.
The leader of Hezbollah movement added that the two top military commanders attained their ultimate goals by embracing martyrdom, extending his deepest condolences to their families.
The Hezbollah head added, “We are witness to a heinous crime whose perpetrators are well-known. US President Donald Trump said he had ordered the (drone) strike (on the airport in Baghdad, Iraq).”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah said, “US scenarios in Syria have been foiled. Trump has abandoned the Kurds and his decision concerning the withdrawal of American troops represents his confusion. All attempts to undermine the resistance front in Lebanon and Yemen have been unsuccessful as well.”
The Hezbollah secretary general went on to note that Trump did not manage to impose the “deal of century” thanks to the Palestinian nation’s steadfastness.
He underlined that the US was about to lose control of Iraq following the defeat of Daesh and parliamentary polls in the country.
“Washington then sought to drag Iraq into civil war, and sow the seeds of discord between Baghdad and Tehran. The US is heading to elections with no real achievements secured by Trump.”
“The US wanted to hit a central figure in the axis of resistance, so they targeted General Soleimani,” Nasrallah commented.
The Hezbollah chief highlighted that the top Iranian general posed a real threat to the Tel Aviv regime, but Israeli officials did not dare to assassinate him.
“The martyrdom of General Soleimani and Muhandis will provide new incentive to press ahead with resistance in the face of the US and the Zionist regime.
“Assassination of Soleimani means targeting the entire axis of resistance. In terms of retaliation, there is no figure in the opposite front to match General Soleimani and Muhandis,” the Hezbollah chief underlined, noting that Soleimani’s shoe was more valuable than Trump’s head.
