Nasrallah Says Another Ship to Sail from Iran, Welcomes Egypt, Jordan Help
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday announced that a second ship carrying fuel will sail to Lebanon “within days.”
“Our first ship has become at sea, our second ship will sail within days and more ships will follow,” Nasrallah said in a televised speech commemorating Abbas al-Yatama, a Hizbullah military commander who died a week ago.
“We are seeking to alleviate the suffering and what we will bring will be for all Lebanese and all those living on Lebanese soil. It will not be for one Lebanese region without the other,” Nasrallah noted.
“We are not an alternative to the state in this matter or in any other matter. We cannot be so and we are not an alternative to the companies that import oil,” Hizbullah’s leader pointed out.
He added: “We are not supposed to bring Lebanon's full demand of gasoline and diesel but rather good quantities that alleviate pressure off the companies and the stations.”
Commenting on the recent remarks of U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea, Nasrallah said: “This is important if it happens and we welcome Egypt’s gas and the Jordanian electricity and any effort that secures electricity.”
“If you want to help Lebanon, tell your administration to stop preventing other countries from helping Lebanon, and we wouldn't want neither your initiative nor your money,” Nasrallah added, noting that the Egyptian and Jordanian supply plans would take months to materialize.
Moreover, Nasrallah commented on the issue of offshore oil and gas exploration.
“If the (foreign) companies fear Israel and the sanctions, we are willing to bring an Iranian drilling company to extract offshore oil and gas, and let Israel bomb it,” Hizbullah’s leader added, noting that such a move would hinge on the Lebanese state’s approval.

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

Why doesn't Lebanon's supreme leader and smuggler supremo stop smuggling our subsidized fuel and diesel to Syria? This will make his ship unnecessary and we wouldn't be needing his initiative. But he won't. Because as the mini him acknowledged "smuggling is part of the resistance".
Also if bringing an Iranian drilling company to extract offshore oil and gas hinges on the Lebanese state’s approval, doesn't bring Iranian ships and deciding they are Lebanese territory as soon as they set sail need this same approval?
Nasrallah is dishonest, deceitful and an all out liar. I don't think the old Shi3a ulama had this in mind when they permitted the concept of Taqiyya.

You wrote your comment an hour ago at the time of my writing this... it means the time in London was 4 in the morning and 6 in the morning Beirut time. Do you sleep? Do you have a job? A family? A future or a Past? Obviously no!

You stopped da3esh enter Lebanon and protected the borders with Syria. How can you not stop the smuggler from your grounds to Syria?
If there is no smuggling then we won't need the Iranian ships simply because more than half the people left Lebanon after Nov 2019.

The Iranian stooge thinks he represents all of the Lebanese along with his halal meat, his women in hideous-looking headscarves, and his followers with beards and Iranian fashions. He needs to emigrate to Iran and take all of his medieval possessions and his women with multicolored headscarves with him.

They tend to remove my comments also when I say that Iran needs to be bombed off the face of this earth.

"we are willing to bring an Iranian drilling company to extract offshore oil and gas, and let Israel bomb it"
First part, illegally of course, without asking permission from either the Government of Lebanon or the concession holders
Last part, is that a direct request?
