Alwaght- Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, said US President Donald Trump's threats to strike Syria will not intimidate Damascus, Iran, or Russia.
In a televised speech on Friday, Hassan Nasrallah said Trump’s threats “have not and will not frighten neither Syria, nor Iran, nor Russia, nor the resistance movements, nor the peoples of the region.”
President Trump initially threatened this week that he was committed to attacking Syrian government, which he accused of using chemical weapons in Douma on April 7. Damascus has rejected the accusation, saying militants in the area had made up the "chemical fabrications" to impede advances by the Syrian army.
The Hezbollah leader said the resistance movement condemns the use of chemical weapons in any battle. He implied that happened in Douma was stage-managed.
With every advance made by Syrian government forces against the foreign-backed Takfiri militants accusations of using chemical weapons rise, Sayyed Nasrallah said.
The Hezbollah leader further said people of the region and the world had the right to worry about the existence of a president like Trump “who does not understand what he wants and how he thinks.” The Trump administration, he added, “has no strategic vision for anything.”
“With such a president and an administration, the whole world has the right to worry.”
The Hezbollah secretary general said the US administration must know that the war on the region will not be a war on armies but an act of aggression against peoples of the region. He said the US will definitely be the loser in such a campaign.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah referred to Israeli regime’s recent attack on T-4 air base in the Syrian province of Homs that killed several people, saying the assault was deliberate. He said Tel Aviv had committed a “historical mistake.”
Two Israeli F-15 warplanes carried out strikes from Lebanese air space on T-4 air base in Homs on Sunday. Syrian air defense systems shot down five of the eight missiles fired.
