The leader of the Lebanese resistance movement then denounced the terrorist attack by ISIL on a shrine in Iran’s Shiraz city, offering condolences to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the Iranian nation.
“The horrible massacre perpetrated by ISIL terrorist group indicates the reality of this criminal and savage ideology along with who stands behind such groups and utilizes them to serve its interests, and I mean here the United States.”
“We have to be more vigilant and realize importance of the great Jihad against these terrorist groups in the region. While talking about this Jihad, we remember our great martyrs who led the fight against Takfiris like Hajj Qassem Suleimani, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis and Mustafa Badreddine.”
Meanwhile, Sayyed Nasrallah stressed that those who directed the latest riots across Iran are themselves who are behind Shiraz attack.
“The operator is one and the scheme is being plotted in one black room run by the US.”
Palestinian Resistance

Lebanon Maritime Deal
Sayyed Nasrallah described maritime deal as a great victory to Lebanon’s state, people and resistance, declaring that the exceptional mobilization carried out by Hezbollah fighters in the latest months is over.
“As the letters are signed and the formal measures of the deal are finalized, we say that the mission has been accomplished and the exceptional mobilization is over.”
“We in Hezbollah consider the indirect maritime talks as well as the deal a great victory to Lebanon’s state, people and resistance. What happened has important indications.”
Meanwhile, his eminence lashed out at anti-Hezbollah Lebanese figures who didn’t expect that the maritime deal will be signed.
“Some in Lebanon were surprised by finalizing the maritime deal, their spite made them blind,” Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that his speech next Saturday will never address them.
The Hezbollah S.G. then hit back at those who claimed that the deal is a “form of normalization” with the Zionist entity.
“Claims on normalizing ties between Lebanon and the Zionist entity after the maritime deal are baseless and false accusations.”
He stressed that Lebanese officials never did any suspicious step that might indirectly imply normalization, adding that the Lebanese and Israeli delegations never met in one room.
“The document which Lebanon has signed is a US letter that doesn’t include an Israeli signature. It’s neither an international accord nor a recognition of the Israeli enemy, but rather it’s a letter that will be sent to the United Nations.”
Sayyed Nasrallah then addressed the outbreak of Cholera in Lebanon, voicing Hezbollah’s full readiness to stand by the health authorities in the country to counter the bacterial disease.
