Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
On this day, the day of the 10th of Muharram, the day of the greatest catastrophe, we send our condolences to our holy prophet, Imam Ali, Sayyeda Fatima, Imam Hassan, our Imams, Allah's Hujja on His earth, may our lives be sacrificed for him.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
This year, our hearts are heavy as we were not able to express our love for the Imam in processions as we usually did. The crowds always represented the loyalty we have for the path of Imam Husayn (as).
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We learn from Imam Husayn (as) that we are obliged to take a stance in the face of falsehood, a stance that would lead to martyrdom.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Imam Husayn's words teach us that if we were to choose between war and humiliation, then we will never accept humiliation.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
I will talk about several topics today, including the recent events on the southern border.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
In the battle between truth and falsehood today, the picture is very clear. Palestine has been occupied since 1948, including some Lebanese land in the Shebaa Farms...and the Syrian Golan. It is those people's right to regain their land.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We, in Hezbollah, will stand by anyone who resists and fights this occupying entity. We will never acknowledge the legitimacy of this entity, even if we remained alone in this stance.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
There is a battle on another front, that of theft, sanctioning, starving, besieging...people. This is the face of American aggression on our region.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
If the Americans wanted the war on Yemen today to end, it will end. If the Americans wanted it, the oppressive sanctions on Syria would be lifted immediately.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We cannot but stand by those people who represent the truth and renew this stance on the 10th of Muharram. We will support them until every people's gas, oil, water, land...is theirs again.
S #Nasrallah:
It is crucial to mention that we strongly condemn every attempt to normalize relations with the Zionist entity and acknowledge its existence, as was recently done by the UAE. The only difference is that this has now been publicized after it had been done in secret.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Emirati officials claimed that their treaty was a necessity to prevent the Zionists from annexing more land in the West Bank, but Netanyahu did not even respect his "allies" and immediately refuted their claims and exposed their lies.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Netanyahu even prevented the UAE from owning F35 warplanes even though he knows for sure that the UAE would never dare use those against the Zionist entity.
What the UAE did was a favor for Trump in his worst days before the elections.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
As for the Lebanese issues, we hope the parliament is able to offer a name for PM soon. We are in dire need of a government that will save Lebanon and solve the economic crisis. There are many who claim that Hezbollah is an obstacle in the way of reform.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Are we going to depend on protests of a couple hundred people to define the demands of the Lebanese people? What if there were several protests with different views? Should we depend on those? Should we conduct surveys? We are ready to discuss anything.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Who said that the Lebanese people want a neutral and secular government? Who said they wanted a technocrat? How are those people making those claims? Based on what? Hearing a couple people speaking here and there does not represent all Lebanese people.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Many of those people who come out and speak in the name of the Lebanese people often only represent their own opinions. Then they accuse Hezbollah of claiming to represent all Lebanese people. We never said that.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
French president Macron was recently calling for reform in the political system -a new political accord. We did not hear any comments from anyone. Had it been the Iranian or Syrian presidents, for example, would those same groups have remained silent?
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Regardless, we respectfully discuss with those we disagree with and respect every guest who visits. Those are our standards. We are ready to discuss a new political accord if this is what the others want.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
In regards to the Beirut port explosion, investigations are still ongoing and we hope the results are announced soon to put an end to all the lies and accusations. There is a new wave now where they are claiming that the nitrate was for Hezbollah...
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
Compensations should be given to those affected by the explosion. We hope the Lebanese army is able to announce the results of the investigations soon.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
It makes no sense that news channels targeting Hezbollah so aggressively and publicly is allowed to continue to work in this manner. An end should be put to all the propaganda after the Beirut port explosion.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
The equation built upon cooperation between the people, army, and the Resistance is what led to the second victory and liberation after the Aarsal battles against the takfiri terrorists.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We pray for the return of Imam Sayyed Musa Sadr and his 2 companions. The Imam paved the way for the Resistance in Lebanon and it is thanks to his efforts, activism, and words that the Resistance is where it is today...
S #Nasrallah:
I had left this till the end: the recent events on the border with occupied Palestine. The Zionists had targeted one of our soldiers in Syria, Ali Kamel Mohsen, who was martyred. Since then, the Zionists have been trying to trick us into targeting their fake targets
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
They've emptied several barracks since then and put their training programs on hold. We haven't done anything yet, but this army who claims to be invincible has been exposing dummies to make us target them. They are standing on a leg and a half.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
There is extreme tension in the occupied lands. The Zionists want us to retaliate so they could get this over with. They think the Resistance functions on emotions. Our equation of deterrence still stands. We are not in a rush to retaliate.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
The "invincible" army has hidden its soldiers like rats. They thought that they would provoke a reaction from us by throwing flares and burning trees...They thought that would lead to a confrontation and we would forget about the retaliation...
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
The blood of our martyrs will not go in vain. I tell the Zionists, if you kill one of our soldiers, we will kill one of yours. Hezbollah does not do what it does for the sake of some media clout. Our equation is clear.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
The Zionists will pay the price of every single recent act of aggression. It is only a matter of time. The state of stress and paranoia this army has been in is part of our retaliation and we consider it to be a victory for the Resistance.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
The Zionists cannot hide forever. They will come out soon. They know that our target is a soldier and not any of their military vehicles. It is only a matter of time and we are in no rush.
Sayyed #Nasrallah:
It is crucial for everyone to wear masks and take precautions. The number of corona cases has unfortunately been dramatically increasing in Lebanon. The resigned government's abilities are limited... It is a religious responsibility to take all precautions.
Sayyed Hassan #Nasrallah:
We pledge allegiance to Imam Husayn and renew our oath to him to never abandon him or leave his path. May Allah accept everyone's acts...
