The United States does not want Daesh (also known as ISIL or ISIS) Takfiri group
to be destroyed and is providing Takfiri terrorists with assistance through its
bases in Syria, Nasrallah said, addressing a ceremony held in al-Ain town in
North Bekaa region to commemorate two martyred members of the resistance
movement.
The ceremony was held after Hezbollah commander, Ali al-Hadi al-Asheq, and
Hezbollah fighter, Mohammad Nasserdine, were killed, along with five other
fighters, while fighting the Takfiri terrorists in Syria last week.
"It is only the United States, which does not let Daesh be totally annihilated,"
Nasrallah said in his speech, Press TV reported.
The Hezbollah leader added that the US was helping Daesh through its base in
Syrian city of Raqqah and also through a base it runs near Syria’s border with
Jordan where Daesh terrorists are trained.
"US Air Force does not allow the Syrian army and resistance groups to advance
toward positions occupied by Daesh," he added.
Stressing the need to continue the ongoing fight against Daesh despite efforts
made by the US, Nasrallah said, "If we do not continue the war against Daesh,
the Takfiri group will hit again and resume its campaign of massacre and
terror.”
Nasrallah emphasized that Daesh would return to all areas it had lost if the
fight against the group stopped, because Daesh was like a malignant cancer,
which must be uprooted.
Nasrallah stated that the US did not want the Lebanese army to fight Daesh in
those areas, which had been occupied by the Takfiri group, and to achieve this
goal, it even stopped its aid to the Lebanese army for a period of time.
The leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah stated that the "Wahhabi Takfiri Daesh”
group was only present in small parts of Iraq and Syria, but the group must be
totally annihilated, because if not, it would continue to threaten Iraq and
Syria.
He noted that the main strategy followed by Daesh was to extend its existence,
so that, it could launch new battles to reclaim liberated towns and villages.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah noted that the Middle East region was facing
a new scheme devised by the United States and Saudi Arabia, which was mainly
aimed at Iran.
He stated that Washington and Tel Aviv kept lying about Tehran’s nuclear program
as they were outraged by the Islamic Republic’s influential role in the Middle
East.
The Hezbollah chief said the main problem between the US and Iran was that the
Islamic Republic had caused the Saudi-US plot to crash across the region.
He added that the Riyadh regime’s policies would eventually fail in Syria
despite the fact that the Saudi authorities were funneling huge sums of money
and munitions to Takfiri terrorists there.
Nasrallah then stressed that Hezbollah was a popular movement, which enjoyed
great support both inside Lebanon and across the Middle East, noting that US
policies and sanctions would fail to change the group’s positions.
