Iran Press/Middle East: Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah in a live TV speech said: "Lebanon has witnessed some incidents over the past two weeks. Things even went out of control at times, but these conditions were rare."
Nasrallah also urges Lebanese nation to maintain vigilance amid ongoing unrest.
Regarding the latest developments and events in Lebanon, Nasrollah said: "These unrest were the enemy's plots and conspiracies to flare turmoil and civil war in Lebanon that we have now turned away from that kind of situation through our insight and discernment in this regard, and we know who paid to make turmoil in Lebanon."
He went to say: "Some gave free tribunes to people who were insulting others. I emphasize that those who paid for the insults wanted to challenge the other, I mean they wanted to make others insulted. We all know that all the Lebanese have guns, all their emotions aroused, and some wanted to put the country into chaos."
He added, These insults are not worthy of those who have the right demands and they are far from such behavior.
Nasrallah condemns those using cursing and bad language against others. He warns against allowing such amount of cursing to go on in Lebanon.
By condemning the attack to the Journalists and media persons in Lebanon, he added: "Millions of people were in their homes, whether they wanted to stay or not, but they were insulted that they did not deserve to, meanwhile he warned of the media manipulation by regional and trans-regional actors to influence the Lebanese politics.
Nassrallah said: "We carry out our resistance in a normal manner because we are confident, calm, and not afraid, or concerned, or tied up with domestic issues and on the domestic front, we ask people to refrain from analyses. This has nothing to do with the domestic situation. The matter of the resistance is separate from any domestic developments."
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah: What we tell Israelis
Hezbollah's leader stated that we tell the Israelis, this is something that will continue. Our goal is to "clean up" Lebanese airspace of Israeli incursions. If we can do this by downing Israeli drones, great. If we can do it by making them to leave Lebanese airspace, that is fine too. Naturally, the Israelis were analyzing this. No, this wasn't an isolated incident. We promised this after what happened in Dahiyeh, to down drones where we are capable of doing so.
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah: We are independent
He noted that some will tell us we're friends of the Iranian embassy, but everyone knows our decisions are local, independent, free, true and we believe in true Lebanese sovereignty, and therefore call for a truly independent government, whose decisions will be Lebanese, so we don't have to keep asking

Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah: US role in Lebanon's crisis
Regarding the US role, he said that US pressure on Lebanon is a hostile policy, to impose their terms on the Lebanese in the future. The American's role is preventing Lebanon from emerging from its crisis. More than that, blocking the paths of solutions for the Lebanese to deal with their economic crises and launch their industrial, agricultural production. The Americans' role in Lebanon creates disruption and crises.
Call for dialogue
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah: We call for dialogue
He went on to say that we call for dialogue between political parties, parliamentarians, and honest leaders of the protests. We must all get past the wounds that were created in the past two weeks.
Hezbollah's leader said: "I never called on the protesters to leave the public squares. I called on protesters to remain in the squares, and keep the pressure on the gov't while negotiating reforms."
Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah concluded that there needs to be a new government regaining trust between people and the government. This government must be clear and transparent in service of people.
