I'll share a real story with you. Please read all before commenting:
I called a friend in #Lebanon who read my article about the possibility of Iran supplying Lebanon with oil.

This person said: "I don't want to adopt Welayat al-Fakih in exchange for fuel from Iran. " +

The person went on: "I refuse to change my belief only because we have no electricity in the country."

I answered (joking): "I learned that with every full tank you will get a book to learn about Welayat al-Fakih to memorise for when you want more fuel after a week or so."

The person:" I categorically refuse. I'll stand against it".

Me: I have one question. Could you please tell me what is Welayat al-Fakih?

Silence

Are u aware that so many experts on Iran ignore what is Welayat al-Fakih? Could you tell how it is possibly applicable 4 Lebanon?"

Anti-Iran propaganda is so strong to the point that people in #Lebanon are not aware that #Iran is ready to deliver fuel in exchange for the miserable Lebanese Lira. It is a strategic, not financial question and #Hezbollah changed in 2008 objective coz it is non-applicable.

Having fuel and medicine from #Iran doesn't come with a change of identity, belief and culture.

#Lebanon is and will pick up slowly after so much pessimism because the US is afraid of losing its foothold in Lebanon following Sayyed Nasrallah' speech.

That is it.
