Nasrallah ‘Opening Doors Wide’ for Iran Role in Lebanon, Mahfoud Says

The Change Movement head, Elie Mahfoud criticized on Thursday Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s Wednesday remarks, saying he is paving the way for an Iranian role in Lebanon, the National News Agency reported on Thursday.

“Nasrallah’s words are a clear prelude to opening the doors wide for a new Iranian phase in Lebanon. It was clear that he is paving the government’s way towards Tehran,” said Mahfoud, one day after Nasrallah’s televised speech.

On remarks that Hizbullah won’t stand idle in case a war breaks out in Iran, Mahfoud said: “Lebanon and the Lebanese have nothing to do with wars raged outside their borders. Why would we be involved in more futile wars that were nothing more than an act of expelling our children to emigrate.”

In his speech, Nasrallah said: “If America launches war on Iran, it will not be alone in the confrontation at all.”

He 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.”

To that, Mahfoud said: “A simple reminder about the health protocols that have been in effect for decades with the major manufacturing companies.”

On Nasrallah’s willingness to ask Iran to provide the Lebanese Army with weapons and air defense system, Mahfoud said: “The arming of the Lebanese army is a decision of the state. If you really want to help, why not open the depots of arsenals and rockets you own and offer them to the army. This is a beginning to uncover truthful intentions.”

Elie Dude.. give the poor guy a beak.. hassin is barely scraping by.. on the $1300 a month salary.. minus "The Islamic Resistance®" dues.. the Iranians pay him... Winter is brutal this year.. and it gets real damp and cold in the sewers.. and warping himself up.. in that turban of his to stay warm.. does not cut it anymore... And thermal long johns cost money.. he's even having to put on two at the time.. or he'll get another pneumonia.. like last month.. with his weak immune system.. those can be deadly... hassin had to take a second gig!... And this one is a perfect fit.. Spokesperson, PR rep and mascot.. for the Islamic Republic of Iran... I bet the Iranians got the idea to hire him.. after they saw how effective.. that other clown.. Ronald McDonald.. is.. pushing Happy Meals®... A stroke of genius by the Iranians if you ask me..
