A top Lebanese cleric condemned international efforts, led by the US, to attack Syria and slammed the interfering policies of the country.

Sheikh Naeem Qasim, Lebanon Hezbollah Deputy, in a meeting with a group of clerics from Jebal Amel, in Southern Lebanon, referred to the struggles by the US to violate the liberty and honor of Middle Eastern states saying that its efforts aim at guaranteeing security for the Zionist regime, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

He noted the huge struggles organized to intrigue and topple Syrian government and said, “US decision was made when it had secured an 80% approval of other countries for financial supports to attack Syria.”

Lebanese scholar denounced the war rhetoric of the US to attack Syria and topple Bashar al Assad government demanding,” Who has given the right to the US to meddle in the domestic affairs of other countries?”

Top Hezbollah official added,” US decision to attack Syria is in line with its Greater Middle East plan which has not realized so far due to efforts by the Resistance.”

He reiterated,” The US intends to colonize other countries to impose its policies on them but it is doomed to fail again same way that it failed in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
