Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that America wants to subdue Iran and Syria, trying to drag Iran into direct negotiations with it and Syria to accept what it hadn't accepted in the past and this is the real aim.

In a televised speech on Friday marking the Hezbollah Martyr's Day, Nasrallah warned that any war against Iran and Syria will negatively affect the entire region, saying" This is not a threat but real calculations,"
“The U.S. wants to subjugate Iran and drag it into direct negotiations and this is being rejected by Iran. They are also seeking to subjugate Syria so that it accepts what it has been rejecting so far,” Hizbullah’s leader said of the latest escalation of rhetoric between Iran and its two principal foes, Israel and the U.S.

Nasrallah indicated that some Lebanese sides have bet on the regional developments with hopes and illusions of a near fall of Syria's regime.

He told those sides "Leave aside this bet because it will be lost as your previous wagers… Don't waste your time because the regional situation is currently at the interest of the region's people and the resistance is now at its best,"

Sayyed Nasrallah considered the US withdrawal from Iraq as a huge defeat of the US project in the region, adding that the defeated U.S. is trying to withdraw from Iraq under a political and media covering fire.

He stressed that the US is trying to punish Syria and Iran for rejecting the occupation of Iraq and foiling the US project in the region. 

"The transformations that occur in our region are not in US interest, a fall of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia is a loss to the Americans and the fall of Gaddafi is a loss to them, but also the fall of Mubarak regime is the greatest loss to them. " He added

About the "Special Tribunal for Lebanon", Nasrallah asked "Why don’t you accept for the STL what you accept for the UNESCO organization, although the UNESCO has done justice to a people while the STL has aggrieved a people,” Nasrallah added.

He slammed the STL as “nonexistent,” advising the rival Lebanese parties to “address the domestic issues and give up their bets on the outside forces.”

Addressing the conflict with Israel, Nasrallah wondered “how can someone be reassured concerning his people and homeland amid the presence of a neighboring racist, hostile entity?”

“This is the first time that Lebanon and its south feel safe and confident because of the presence of the Resistance,” Nasrallah boasted.

“All the (recent) speculations and analyses about a possible Israeli war on Lebanon are aimed at intimidation. We rule out this possibility, not because Israel, the U.S. and the international community are generous, but because of a very simple reason: Lebanon is not weak anymore,” he reassured.

On the issue of Hizbullah’s weapons, Sayyed Nasrallah said: “When you ask our resistance to surrender its weapons, you are asking us to be aggrieved and to surrender our dignity to the ugliest enemy which is Israel.”

Turning to the domestic issues, Nasrallah noted that Premier Najib Miqati’s government “has proven to be a government of dialogue and a national government that represents a parliamentary and popular majority and that it’s not a one-sided government.”

But he called on the government to “work more and to give the ultimate attention to people’s concerns instead of listening to useless things.”

He stressed that “this government does not receive orders or insinuations.”

“The government must address the administrative and humanitarian issues and the issue of those who fled to Israel (in 2000). We were among those who backed the draft law (on the return of those who fled) in parliament and that was mentioned in our (2006) MOU with the Free Patriotic Movement and we are committed to that.”

“The collaborators who were arrested were handed over to the Lebanese judiciary. I understand those who fled to Israel and some of them fled because they knew how grave their deeds were, but if they observe how the people of the south had dealt with the collaborators’ families they would regret fleeing to Israel,” Nasrallah added.
