Nasrallah: US Morally Unqualified to Lead Anti-Terrorism Coalition

BEIRUT-Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah yesterday stated that the party is against the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) terrorist organization and all the takfiri groups, yet he asserted that Hezbollah has also a principled position against the US military intervention.

 According to al-Manar TV website Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that the US is not morally qualified to lead an anti-terrorism coalition because it is the mother of terrorism as it supports the terrorist Israeli entity  and it has participated in establishing the terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and in other countries.

 Nasrallah clarified that this international coalition was created to protect the US interests at the expense of those of the Arabs and their governments, noting that such a coalition is a pretext for a foreign intervention in the region.

“Lebanon must not be part of this US-led international coalition because it endangers its interests.”

Nasrallah pointed out that those who want to support Lebanon can do so through three points — cutting off the financing of terrorism; halting the training, arming and dispatch of fighters to Lebanon; speeding up support to the army; and helping Lebanon resolve the refugee crisis.

Hezbollah leader asserted that the terrorists can never storm Lebanon and are unable to reach Beirut and other cities or areas across the country, adding that the Lebanese possess all the capabilities to fight and defeat terrorism.

He called on all the Lebanese to unite against the terrorist threat.
