Nasrallah: Iran Can Give Army Air Defense, Solve Electricity Problem

W460

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah announced Wednesday that he is willing to ask Iran to provide the Lebanese Army with weapons and air defense systems, while noting that Tehran can “easily” solve Lebanon's chronic electricity problem.

“Will the Lebanese government dare to accept the Iranian proposals? Why should Lebanon remain afraid to cooperate with Iran?” Nasrallah said in a televised address marking the 40th anniversary of Iran's Islamic revolution.

“In the military field, wouldn't people make an uproar and accuse Hizbullah of dragging Lebanon into war should the party shoot down an Israeli aircraft attacking Lebanon? I'm a friend of Iran and I'm willing to bring the Lebanese Army air defense systems from Iran to confront Israel,” Nasrallah added, noting that he is also ready to talk to Tehran on supplying the army with any arms and equipment it needs.

Hizbullah's leader also said that it would be “very easy” for Iran to solve Lebanon's chronic electricity problem while noting that it can also make a “huge transformation” in Lebanon's pharmaceutical industry that would “help us slash the medical bill of the state and citizens.”

Nasrallah also admitted that his party is "affected by the sanctions” slapped on it by Washington, but vowed that it will "overcome the difficulties" through its "firmness, will and resolve."

Turning to the region, Nasrallah said that Iran won't be fighting alone in the event the United States launches a war against it.

"If America launches war on Iran, it will not be alone in the confrontation at all," he said.

"The resistance axis is stronger than ever and the U.S. will further withdraw from the region and Israel is heading towards more fear and panic," Nasrallah added.

The axis groups the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, Shiite militias in Iraq, some Palestinian factions and Hizbullah.

Nasrallah also said that "claims that there are Israeli-Iranian or Saudi-Iranian wars or conflicts in the region are untrue.”

“This is an American war on the Islamic Republic of Iran that has been running since 1979 and Saudi Arabia and some Gulf countries are tools in this war," he added.

Nasrallah announced Wednesday that he is willing to ask Iran to provide the Lebanese Army with weapons and air defense systems "Will the Lebanese government dare to accept the Iranian proposals?"

This cynical hypocrite wannabe Iranian knows the answer and the reason why he Lebanon cannot accept regardless how real the Iranian proposal. It's the same reason he appointed Jamil Jabaq as heath minister instead of a Hezbollah official. On the other hand if Nasrallah and his Iranian masters are really serious about this proposal to arm the Lebanese army there are two simple solutions that will not damage Lebanon, suggested by a FPM official a few years ago:

Will Nasrallah and Iran dare to follow these suggestions this time? And if the Iranian proposal is real why haven't they done this yet?

Thumb rolfmao. 06 February 2019, 23:10

Nasrallah might be a filthy little Iranian wannabe but even he knows why Lebanon cannot work with Iran. It's the same reason he did not appoint a member of Hezbollah to the health ministry. He even insisted to telling everyone this fact in his speech two days ago:
"The health minister is not a member of our party and we have taken this decision for the sake of the country's interest".
Just the same, it's also for the sake of the country's interest that Lebanon cannot work with Iran, and Nasrallah knows this. He also knows that can always rely on the stupidity of his followers to believe all his BS.

95% of his speech about Iran.

The day this evil iranian sectarian terrorist is brutally and violently murdered is the day we celebrate our true independence.

Thumb EagleDawn 07 February 2019, 01:13

Great picture, he looks like an unwashed mafioso, and that's closer to his true character than the religious uniform he dishonored for decades.

As to his speech: nice cartload of BS.

Nasrallah: Bin Salman admitted that America had asked Saudi Arabia to spread Wahhabism in the world.

Yes Yes he did in his exclusive interview with iranian owned and operated Al Mayadeen on the eve of the last Ashoura.

Nasrallah: Iran Can Give Army Air Defense

... the same Air Defenses Iran is using to down Israeli fighter planes bombing its forces in Syria on a weekly basis?

Terrorist nasrallah says 'Iran Can Give Army Air Defense'

Don't ask, just get them yourself and then gift them to the Lebanese army.

Thumb liberty 07 February 2019, 02:56

Nasrallah: Should a war be waged against Iran, it will certainly not be left alone in it.

and this is yet another proof that Lebanon is committed to a dissociation policy.

My heart felt wishes to our fearless and beloved leader on this CNY ( Lunar New Year ). This is his year. The year of the....

And as an FYI in wars the most successful army is the one who is mostly trained.
so if Israel continues day in and day out to attack Syrian targets AND recently 11 Iranian were killed, then WHY there is not a SINGLE face to face attack by those Iranian air defense taking down the F15 and F16s???
Show me some history in the braveness of the Iranian or Syria air defense system. Really having hard time copying and pasting something that does not exist.

Missing cedars 08 February 2019, 14:02

Oh forgot to mention, the last time I checked your Iranian and Russian air defense took down a friendly Russian plane that the Israeli F15 confused those air defense brave systems you speaking of.

Why doesn't this Iranian shia terrorist go back to his homeland and leave Lebanon to the real Lebanese.

To Lebanon and Hassan Nasrallah ...

The key information you don't know or understand is this:

If you really believe in GOD ALMIGHTY

And read GOD's Words

You see that GOD gave Israel all the land from River Egypt to the Euphrates

This land includes all Lebanon, all Jordan, part of Syria/Saudi Arabia/ Egypt/Iraq

GOD said to Israel He will scatter them throughout the world leaving their land desolate, then at the right time He will bring them back and reform them as a nation on their land

This happened in 1948

GOD's Word is True

Thumb eagle_eye 08 February 2019, 02:37

If you fight Israel, you are fighting GOD ALMIGHTY

GOD's Word will stand

You can get all the armies and ammunition you want

But you will be destroyed not by Israel, but by GOD because GOD's Word stands

THIS IS A WARNING - LISTEN AND SAVE YOURSELF

Islam is a false religion not from the One True GOD. It is teaching you lies and leading you and Lebanon to destruction and Hell

What is coming will be terrifying to any nation or person who is against Israel

Who will you follow? GOD or man?

Thumb eagle_eye 08 February 2019, 02:46

Israel is prospering and succeeding in every way
because GOD's Hand is on them

Every Muslim nation is suffering because they are with a false god believing lies

Will you stay in your PRIDE and false religion
or will you choose life and GOD?

(I am not Jewish, but a Lebanese who loves Lebanon)

If you love GOD you must be a friend to Israel because GOD's Hand is on them
