Hezbollah Chief Slams Attack on Shiite Mosque in Saudi Arabia

Alwaght- The secretary general of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has denounced the Friday terrorist attack which targeted Imam Reza AS Mosque in al-Ahsaa, Eastern Saudi Arabia.
In a televised speech via al-Manar on Friday night, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah stressed the importance of countering the Takfiri terrorism in the region. “We condemn the vicious attack at the hands of Takfiris in the Saudi region of al-Ahsaa and we extend condolences to the martyrs' families,” he said.
He described the attack which occurred during Friday prayers and left 5 people dead as a “dangerous incident” which underscores the need to deal with the “roots of terrorism” and boosting “security measures.”
Elsewhere in his speech, Nasrallah categorically denied claims that Iran is interfering in the internal affairs of Lebanon, adding that there is no evidence for the allegations.
He noted that the Islamic Republic is a powerful country in this region and "doesn’t need the issue of Lebanon’s presidential vote to solve its nuclear program."
These remarks come in response to accusations that Tehran was bargaining with the Lebanese internal affairs in a bid to settle the nuclear program issue with world powers.
“If Iran wants to hinder the presidential elections in Lebanon, then it should have utilized this issue in its international relations.”
“Iran has not interfered, and will never do so in the Lebanese affairs,” Sayyed Nasrallah affirmed.
Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that Hezbollah, since the beginning of the presidential crisis in Lebanon, announced that it backs General Aoun for Presidency.
“Based on several conditions, Hezbollah decided to back the candidacy of General Michel Aoun.
The Hezbollah leader al urged dialogue, calling on the Lebanese factions to sit down together and discuss the presidency issue in a bid to settle the disagreements.
