Beirut – Hezbollah Secretary General His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned the \u2018Israeli\u2019 enemy that the Lebanese resistance movement will strike sensitive Zionist military targets in case the enemy used a similar pretext to bomb Lebanese cities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a televised speech on Tuesday marking Hezbollah\u2019s Martyr Leaders Day, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the occasion follows the 42nd anniversary of the Islamic revolution in Iran, which is an example on maintaining sovereignty and independence.<\/p>\n

The resistance leader\u2019s speech commemorated the martyrdom anniversaries of Sheikh Ragheb Harb, Sayyed Abbas al-Mousawi and Hajj Imad Mughniyeh.<\/p>\n

\u201cForty-two years have passed on the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran; The Isalmic Republic resisted and developed on every level until it became a great and considerable regional power,\u201d His Eminence stated.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Bahraini revolution\u2019s February 14th anniversary, Sayyed Nasrallah further hailed the Bahraini people who sacrificed a lot to obtain their freedom, atop of them is Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, adding that \u201cthe Bahraini people are struggling to return their country to its normal situation after its rulers have turned it into a base for normalization with \u2018Israel\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Praising the common characteristics of martyr leaders enjoyed, Sayyed Nasrallah said that they were dedicated to resistance and tolerated all hard circumstances to develop the project of resistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resistance of our martyr leaders developed and became followed by the enemy before the friend because it threatens its existence,\u201d His Eminence underscored, noting that in our time, \u201cWe need stances similar to those of Sheikh Ragheb Harb to confront normalization with \u2018Israel\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

We preserve the will of Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi by preserving the resistance and serving the people, Sayyed Nasrallah added, stressing that \u201cThe most important service we offer to the people is to preserve their existence and defend their lands, dignity and country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe carry on the will of Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi and work within it in all fields, and when an \u2018Israeli\u2019 or a terrorist threat endangers our people we won\u2019t hesitate in defending our honorable people.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the same context, the Hezbollah leader stressed that \u201cWe need the spirit of martyr Imad Mughniyeh to develop the project of resistance, and the brothers of Hajj Imad are doing this nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Internationalizing Lebanese Affairs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elsewhere in his remarks, His Eminence slammed any talks about an international resolution under the United Nations Charter VII regarding the formation of the Lebanese government, which he referred to as a call to war towards which we mustn\u2019t remain silent.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalling for internationalization to resolve domestic issues is unacceptable regardless of who said so, and it can pave the way for undesirable consequences,\u201d His eminence added.<\/p>\n

\u201cInternationalizing the Lebanese issue contradicts the country\u2019s sovereignty and could be a cover to a new occupation. It would open the door wide to settling Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. We reject any form of internationalizing the Lebanese issue, which we find a danger that threatens Lebanon,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah outlined.<\/p>\n

The anti-Hezbollah Chorus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commenting on the electronic armies and the media outlets that grab any incident to point the blame on Hezbollah, Sayyed Nasrallah described those sides as saying \u201cThere is a chorus in Lebanon whose goal is to insult Hezbollah without any pretext. This only represents them, and all of their acts won\u2019t affect us.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this respect, the resistance leader called on its audience not to be dragged to this chorus\u2019 behavior as all the blamed accusations contradict all norms, laws and traditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a systematic, managed and paid targeting of Hezbollah. This campaign has failed to distort the image of resistance within its people. Some reactions by some of the resistance\u2019s audience as a result of this campaign shouldn\u2019t be considered as an act of the entire audience, although they should be dealt with,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah made clear.<\/p>\n

The Beirut Port Mystery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reference to the yet unannounced results of investigations regarding the Beirut Port blast which have already ended, Sayyed Nasrallah noted that he had previously called on the Lebanese Army, the Internal Security, and the Judiciary to announce the result.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the duty of the concerned parties in the Lebanese Judiciary to announce the results of the investigations regarding the Beirut Port blast, and we have been told that the due amounts of insurances for the families of the martyrs and the owners of damaged properties is estimated at $1.2 billion,\u201d His Eminence said while renewing calls for announcing the results of the investigations.<\/p>\n

Lebanese Government Formation<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNobody doesn\u2019t want the formation of a Lebanese government,\u201d the Hezbollah leader emphasized, adding that \u201cIt is in everybody\u2019s interest to form a government, and talking about waiting the Iranian nuclear issue is baseless.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWaiting foreign powers is futile and pressures may push some sides to adhere to their stances. It is unjust to hold the president responsible for not forming the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pointing that Hezbollah understands other parties\u2019 demands to hold certain portfolios, Sayyed Nasrallah noted that \u201cWe don\u2019t understand insisting on forming an 18-minister government while some sides believe that the aim behind this is to eliminate their participation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hezbollah-FPM Understanding<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the 15th anniversary of the understanding that was made between Hezbollah and the Free Patriotic Movement, Sayyed Nasrallah pointed to that the resistance movement wanted it to be a base for wider understandings with other powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe understanding has made a group of achievements that served Lebanon, Hezbollah, and the FPM. We don\u2019t agree on some negative remarks that were made by the FPM as they serve as a material for those who are waiting such things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed the solid relationship with the FPM and expressed keenness to develop it.<\/p>\n

Lebanon As Seen Via Social Media<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sayyed Nasrallah made clear that Tel Aviv, Washington, and their allies announce that they form electronic armies to cause strife and disputes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are sides that want to cause an explosion in Lebanon via what is happening on social media platforms,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah said before calling for strong presence on social media platforms while adhering to awareness, politeness and not harming anybody.<\/p>\n

The post-Trump Region<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pointing to the major developments that took place in the region and the world after Trump\u2019s departure, Sayyed Nasrallah insisted that Lebanon is a key part in the region which is affected by all the developments that take place in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic of Iran has shown endurance and braveness regarding its nuclear issue, and there are clear \u2018Israeli\u2019 and Saudi concerns regarding it.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the revival of Daesh [the Arabic acronym for terrorist \u2018ISIS\/ISIL\u2019 group], Sayyed Nasrallah said that \u201cThe Americans\u2019 talking that their mission doesn\u2019t include protecting the oil in Syria anymore came along with reviving Daesh,\u201d making clear that the Americans want to remain in Syria and Iraq.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey might mobilize Daesh in both countries, and the new US administration is using this pretext to remain there,\u201d His Eminence noted, stressing however that \u201cthose who defeated Daesh in the past will defeat it again, and working to defeat the terrorist organization should be crushing so that it won\u2019t be able to be revived.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Steadfast Yemen<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reference to the new US administration of Joe Biden, Sayyed Nasrallah said that Washington\u2019s announcement of ending its support for the war on Yemen is a positive step that is a result of the Yemenis\u2019 steadfastness, noting that any call for ending the war on Yemen is positive, and the brothers in Yemen are aware of the situation, which is normal and required.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Yemenis steadfastness and tolerance of the siege, the pain, and the bombing pushed the silent world to issue daily reports to defend the aggressive Saudi Arabia, and the Yemeni Army today is in an advanced place, and the other side is screaming in Marib due to the progress the Yemenis are making,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe honest and steadfast Yemenis will bear the fruits of their steadfastness, and the concerns are growing among Saudi Arabia and the enemy\u2019s entity.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Declining \u2018Deal of the Century\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mentioning that the \u2018Deal of the Century\u2019 has majorly decreased, Sayyed Nasrallah found it as a clear explanation that it either ended or is declining. \u201cThis is a source of concern for the \u2018Israelis\u2019 and the Saudis.\u201d<\/p>\n

The persistence of the Palestinians and the Axis of Resistance in the face of Trump resulted in the decline of the \u2018Deal of the Century\u2019, His Eminence noted, criticizing the Zionists exaggeration regarding the Arab acceptance of normalization: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen the stances of the Bahraini people, and before them the Egyptian and Jordanian people against the normalization.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then urged boycotting the \u2018Israeli\u2019 enemy and rejecting normalization as an important step that represents the religious and national sense of belonging.<\/p>\n

\u201cRulers in Sudan will realize that normalization won\u2019t solve their economic problems, which already happened with countries that normalized ties years earlier,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah said, noting that some people\u2019s visits to the enemy\u2019s entity or the actions of some electronic armies don\u2019t express the Arab and Muslim popular mood.<\/p>\n

It Is the Era of the \u2018Axis of Resistance\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to hollow remarks made by \u2018Israeli\u2019 military chief Aviv Kochavi, Sayyed Nasrallah concluded with a clear and precise message.<\/p>\n

His Eminence warned that the game of combat days is a dangerous one for the \u2018Israelis\u2019 as nobody can guarantee that such a game won\u2019t lead to an inclusive and major war.<\/p>\n

Kochavi claimed that the Zionist military will not hesitate to launch an attack in full force against any civilian neighborhoods, installations or even residences where unmanned missiles, rockets and aircraft are being stored or launched from.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will take part in any confrontation imposed on us, and I say it clearly: bombing cities for bombing cities, and bombing settlements for bombing villages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using pretexts of striking military targets inside cities will be responded to by bombing military targets inside the enemy\u2019s cities, the resistance leader insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a case a war broke out, the \u2018Israelis\u2019 shouldn\u2019t brag about their strength as the enemy\u2019s internal front will face incidents that it didn\u2019t witness since the establishment of this entity in 1948.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I tell you to stop playing with fire,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah emphasized, telling the enemy that it should be aware of its limits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe time when the enemy threatens people and they remain silent has gone! There is a resistance from Gaza to Lebanon to the entire regional countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

This matter cannot be run the same way they used to in old mentalities, Sayyed Nasrallah said. \u201cIt is a different time; it is the era of the Axis of Resistance which is following all developments quietly and precisely.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t think for a moment that all the ongoing developments would affect the will of the resistance to confront or change the equations,\u201d Sayyed Nasrallah conluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
