Beirut (IP)- "Iran and Syria have been the biggest supporters of the Resistance since 1982. The other Arab regimes who publicly gave aid to Lebanon were plotting against the Resistance in reality," Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said in his speech today in Beirut.

Iran Press/Middle East: "General Hajizadeh recently announced a statement explaining that Iran's support is unconditional for Lebanon and anyone fighting against the Zionist regime. Iran's interest is the wellbeing of those nations, not its own benefit as those are the orders of the leader," Nasrollah said.

"Is there any problem with what he said? There are some buffoons who do not bother to check first and are quick to distort people's words to create media battles. Those people have made it their job to distort the truth," the Hezbollah leader noted.

- Weak are the people who distort Iranian statements, and Iran supports us with weapons and missiles; we constitute a "front" while Lebanon has been "beaten" since 1948The important parts of the speech of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah in Lebanon are as follows؛

Lebanon should appreciate those who stood by its side when Israel invaded the Lebanese territories, and Khomeini did not leave Lebanon; Iran and Syria are "the most important supporters of the Resistance in Lebanon."

- The Resistance has been defending Lebanon since 2000. If you see Lebanon on the map today, it is thanks to the Resistance. Resistance is the one protecting Lebanon and preserving its sovereignty and rights, and this must be recognized.

- We cannot equate those who rejoiced our victory in 2006 to those who were devastated for it. We cannot equate those who plotted against us and armed terrorists to those who spent their youth on the battlefields defending us. We must differentiate friend from foe.

- The Resistance in Lebanon is one of the most independent Resistance groups in history.

- Enemies and friends must know this well: Iran is powerful. Iran is powerful to the extent that it would not even need its friends and allies.

- We admit that our loss was big. The enemy thought that Iraq would collapse by murdering Haj Ghasem and Haj Abu Mahdi. The reality was the opposite. We in the Resistance know very well how to turn threats into opportunities and victories.

- Imam Khomeini (r) said, "Kill us, for our people will only grow more aware." Sayyed Abbas Mousawi always repeated this phrase. Look at the condition of Hezbollah before and after the martyrdom of S Abbas. Look at what his blood did to the spirits of the people.

- It is the same in Iraq, no equation is possible between those who sent Takfiris/terrorists to destroy Iraq and those who helped Iraqis to defeat Daesh. We should never stop remembering Soleimani and alMuhandis.

- The enemy must know that we only grow more firm and persistent when they kill our leaders. If Iran labeled Haj Ghasem as a national icon, then we in Lebanon label him as an international icon.

- “We declare Martyr Haj Ghasem an international hero, an international idol, an international symbol, a defender of righteousness and the oppressed with no discrimination, not religious nor ethnic nor geographic.”

- The Americans admitted that they were the ones who created ISIS to defeat Hezbollah and return American troops to Iraq. Despite that, some sources claimed that Haj Ghasem, Usama bin Laden, and I were the ones who created ISIS. Look at the level of stupidity.

- Were it not for the blood of Haj Ghasem Soleimani, the slogan of kicking America out of our region would not have been raised. And we are not a people of empty words.
