Alwaght- Secretary-General of Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, blamed Saudi Arabia for exporting ISIS ideology to the world and deploying terrorists to Iraq and Syria for suicide attacks.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in a televised speech on Monday, addressed Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdul Aziz.
“Your Majesty, the terrorist is who exported the Daesh ideology to the world,” Nasrallah said, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
“The terrorist is the one who sent thousands of Saudis to conduct suicide operations in Iraq and Syria, and it’s you.”
“They [Saudis] were involved in the greater conspiracy that was destroying the region,” the Hezbollah leader said.
Nasrallah also slammed the kingdom for its close ties with the US and for the military aggression against Yemeni nation.
Saudi Arabia, backed by the US and its regional allies, launched the war on Yemen in March 2015, with the goal of bringing the government of Yemen’s former president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi back to power and crushing the Ansarullah movement.
The war has left hundreds of thousands of Yemenis dead, and displaced millions more. It has also destroyed Yemen’s infrastructure and spread famine and infectious diseases there.
Despite Saudi Arabia’s heavily-armed and continued bombardment of the impoverished country, Yemeni armed forces and the Popular Committees have grown steadily in strength against the Saudi-led invaders and left Riyadh and its allies bogged down in the country.
