Nasrallah: The US occupation forces are looting Syria’s resources, they should leave Syria
Secretary General of the Lebanese Hizbollah Resistance Movement Hassan Nasrallah has affirmed that the US claims about fighting ISIS in Syria are false and flimsy as they are nothing but a pretext to stay in the region and strengthen this terror organization to use it in different areas for its own political agenda.
“The US pretext to stay in Syria’s northeastern region is to help fight ISIS, which is a flimsy and false claim,” said Nasrallah, clarifying that those who defeated ISIS in this region are the Syrian Arab Army and its allies.
In a speech on Thursday marking the Tenth day of Muharram in the Lebanese Al-Dahiyeh area, Nasrallah noted the existence of clear cut evidence that the United States is working to reproduce ISIS, pointing out that the US occupation troops are transferring ISIS terrorists from an area to another to use them in the service of the US agenda.
The Secretary General of Hizbollah made it clear that the US occupation forces are stealing the Syrians’ resources and they should leave the Syrian territories.
“The US forces should leave Syria, because it has been proved that the real goal behind their presence in Syria is to loot the country’s resources, including its oil and gas, and to support certain separatist agendas which are completely rejected by the Syrian people.
Nasrallah reiterated that all the Syrian territories should be restored to the State’s sovereignty, hoping that the occupation troops will withdraw so the Syrian oil and gas can return to the Syrians who are suffering from the occupation’s practices and the US and western coercive measures.
Regarding the Palestinian cause, Nasrallah stressed that confronting the Zionist entity, which is still occupying Palestine and parts of other Arab countries, is the top priority of resistance.
“Our stance is firm, which is to support the oppressed Palestinian people until they liberate their usurped land and rights,” he reiterated.
The US embassy in Lebanon is running an economic and media war against the country
As for Lebanon, Nasrallah said that the country is being exposed to an economic war with aim of subjugating the Lebanese to the will of the Israeli entity. He pointed out that some parties are trying to impose certain options on the Lebanese people to serve Israel’s interest, emphasizing that the US Embassy in Lebanon is the party that is running this economic war.
According to Al-Manar TV website, Nasrallah announced that the first of several ships loaded with fuel oil would sail from Iran to Lebanon within hours, warning the US and Zionist entity against targeting it.
“This ship will be followed by other ships, but we gave priority to diesel oil on the first ship because it is a top priority and is linked to people’s lives,” he stressed.
He lashed out at Washington and the US embassy in Lebanon, saying they were behind all this incitement for the Lebanese against each other.
“The US embassy in Awkar is not a diplomatic mission; it is rather an embassy that’s conspiring against the Lebanese people. It’s running an economic and media war against Lebanon,” he indicated.
