Leader of Hezbollah Sayed Hassan #Nasrallah starting his speech now re the assassination of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qasim Soleimani.
#Nasrallah starts his speech with the verse from the holy Quran
“And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, Rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty”
“And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision, Rejoicing in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty”
"This is a celebration of the great men Qasim Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and those martyred with them who are heroes for us...not just for Iran or for Iraq but for the whole world" #Nasrallah
"On a personal note, I must say that Qasim Soleimani achieved his personal ambition & aim in life. He wanted dignity, victory & honour for his nation but his personal aim was to achieve martyrdom & on Friday he managed to fulfil his aim in life and become a martyr" #Nasrallah
"I remember those that were around him when he would come to visit us in Beirut. They would say he would stay up all night crying and yearning to meet his Lord and he would personally tell me that he is in pain yearning to be with Allah. That was his aim in life" #Nasrallah
"And the same applies to Abu Mahdi, they were both men of this calibre. They were both men that noticed the grey hairs on their hair was increasing and both of them yearned to be martyrs and they have achieved this" #Nasrallah
"I send my condolences to the family of Qasim Solemani and especially his wife and his sons and I tell them you must be proud that your father has achieved his ambition. And I also send my condolences to the family of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis (his wife & daughters)" #Nasrallah
"I remember the last time I met Abu Mahdi about 3 months ago he came to visit me & I was honoured to host him in my house. Before he departed he said to me the fight against ISIS is over and I have not received martyrdom so please pray for me that I become a martyr" #Nasrallah
"Firstly let me discuss what happened. On Thursday night Qasim Soleimani departed Damascus airport (publicly) to Baghdad. In Baghdad airport he was welcomed by Abu Mahdi and they left the airport and after a short distance attacked by U.S. drones and are all killed" #Nasrallah
"Their bodies were cut into pieces, left without heads like Imam Hussain (as) and without arms like Abu Fadhil al-Abbas (as) and torn into pieces like Ali al-Akbar (peace upon them all)...and this is a honour for them" #Nasrallah
"Trump gave the orders and both the Defence ministry and Trump have admitted to this barbaric attack. So the question that rises is why such a obvious crime committed in such a barbaric method?" #Nasrallah
"When looking at Trumps term in the last three years in regards to the foreign policy you will notice that he has failed in the Middle East and let us not forget that there is American elections coming up and he has failed miserably in his foreign policy" #Nasrallah
"When Trump came to power he wanted to get rid of the Islamic govt in Iran, he placed sanctions on Iran, stopped the nuclear deal between the two states, forced poverty in Iran yet he failed in his aim to stop Iran and hence why he failed in front of his government" #Nasrallah
"Secondly notice his failure in Syria and recently his biggest failure when he attacked his allies the Kurds who thought they were his allies. He failed miserably also in Lebanon. He did his best to tarnish the name of resistance in Lebanon and he also failed in this" #Nasrallah
"They threatened the Lebanese govt that if you dont stop the resistance groups you will be under sanctions and we will attack you...Again all these were threats without any outcome! Therefore they failed in Lebanon also! #Nasrallah
"Also the failure in Yemen with their allies the Saudi's and the failure in Afghanistan to bring peace there. He has increased in the turmoil and the unease within both these nations and is responsible for the death of so many people" #Nasrallah
"Finally, his failure in Iraq! Let us ask what is Trumps aim in Iraq. Let me be clear that we dont need intelligence to know this. Trump is a very transparent person and he doesnt hide behind what he is saying. From day one his aim in Iraq is the oil" #Nasrallah
"In his elections campaign and in every interview he did he mentioned that Iraq's oil belongs to the U.S. and when asked what about the Iraqis, he famously mentioned there are no Iraqis. I wish the Iraqi govt listens to this and understands Trumps aims in Iraq" #Nasrallah
"Obama and Hillary Clinton came to us with ISIS, this was even said by Trump. They brought these terrorists so they take control of Iraq, so they sell them weapons and they predicted the war to be over 10 years. And this plan was obliterated in such a fast time" #Nasrallah
"The Grand authority (marjiya) in Najaf and the formation of the PMU (Hashd) forces and the aid of Qasim Soleimani (Iran) the plans of the USA were stopped and ISIS were defeated. They planned to take control of Iraq but they could not" #Nasrallah
"Another failure in their plans was the formation of the Iraqi govt. Iraq did'nt allow the Israeli plans to go ahead. They went to China to negotiate a deal. Iraqi govt created a pathway between Iraq & Syria. All this was the U.S. loosing their control of Iraq" #Nasrallah
"The Americans last option was to cause chaos (fitna) between Iraqis and also between them & Iran. But Iraq has the wise marjiya and wise tribal leaders who again did not get fooled by this chaos and continued to stay steadfast on the truth" #Nasrallah
"Also let us not forget his failure in Venezuela, Cuba, China, North Korea and Russia. Even with his own allies he has failed and he has shown that he cares about no one. So therefore he has failed in his foreign policy in every aspect" #Nasrallah
"The only things he boosts about re his foreign policy, is the 400 million dollars he took from Saudi Arabia and the the more money he has taken from Arab states. And his declaring moving the capital of Isreal to Jerusalem. Thats all he can talk about" #Nasrallah
"Finally he thought what can I do to stop all of these failures, and for me to get some credibility in foreign policy is to try something low like this. He knows he cant go to war with Iran as this will be catastrophic and Israel know this also" #Nasrallah
"On the 1st of Jan 2020 I was honoured to have Qasim Soleimani visit me and I told him that he is being targeted by the U.S. 7 he would smile and say I wish...He was the one who had stopped many of the American plans & Israel feel threatened because of him"
"They look at the resistance in Palestine and they see Soleimani. They look at us here in Lebanon and see we are supported by Soleimani. In Syria the one who stood up against them was Soleimani. They look at Yemen again its Soleimani. In Iraq the U.S. failed because of Soleimani"
"They knew that they had to get rid of Soleimani as he was a threat to all their plans and a big threat to Israel. Hence they attacked him and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in a barbaric way and killed them" #Nasrallah
"The world is looking at the Iraqi parliament today and they must make a stand and get rid of the Americans in Iraq and we pray that this will be achieved, for them to call on a resolution for the American troops to be kicked out of Iraq" #Nasrallah
"Even if this does not happen, I trust the honourable Iraqi people and know that they will take things into their own hands and they will liberate themselves from the Americans and bring justice to the martyrdom of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and Qasim Soleimani" #Nasrallah
"The Americans will be left humiliated from the Middle East & will taste the bitterness of defeat as they did before. Our response to the martyrdom of Qasim Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhanids is to liberate our lands from the Americans and then to liberate Palestine" #Nasrallah
"I end by saying the idiot Trump and his friends do not know what they have done but the upcoming days will prove you have made a mistake...I take patience from Lady Zainab who witnessed her brother Imam Hussain (as) being killed in front of her" #Nasrallah
