Iran FM says Nasrallah 'pragmatic', threatens 'quake' response against Israel

W460

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said Saturday that anti-Israel militant groups in the region are “fully ready” to respond to any move by Israel.

The minister spoke in Beirut at the end of a tour that took him to Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, where Iran enjoys wide influence and where tens of thousands of Iran-backed fighters are deployed.

Abdollahian told reporters in Beirut Saturday that he met Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, adding that “the resistance (Hezbollah) is in excellent condition and in full readiness to respond to criminal acts by the Zionist entity.”

He added that “the resistance will decide if the war will expand or new fronts are to be open.”

“We will do all we can to stop the Zionist crimes in Gaza," Amirabdollahian said.

Nasrallah is "a pragmatic man who has always played the biggest role in achieving security in Lebanon and the region," the Iranian minister added, warning that "any step that Hezbollah will take will lead to a big earthquake against the Zionist entity (Israel)."

"There is still a chance to launch a political and international initiative," Abdollahian added, noting that "Iran and Saudi Arabia agree on supporting Palestine and condemning the war crimes that are being committed by the Zionist entity."

Israel is probably just waiting for him to start. They;ll know how to finish, and unfortunately it will mean a lot of destruction for the Republic of Lebanon.

Lebanon is already destroyed economically, socially, morally, politically, etc. What's more to lose? If Hizb gets taken down, that's a huge win for everyone and honestly the only way I see them going away.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, after reviewing Iran's Praetorian Guards stationed in Lebanon, Hezbollah for short, said they are fully ready and waiting for our orders to march "za7fan za7fan". We will liberate Palestine even at the cost of the very last Lebanese and Palestinian person. We can repopulate the place with our Afghani and Pakistani mercenaries who are currently in Syria. When asked if he's going to meet with Lebanon's PM Mikati or government after Mikati's statement about the Lebanese government not deciding anything, the Iranian Foreign Minister said no, I have not tried the Mikati, just the Hummus, the Shish Tawook and the Falafel.

Abdollahian and Haniya are two of a pair. They might be more credible if speaking about policy and purpose for the places they and their families live, instead of speaking from elsewhere about what others should be doing that ultimately translates into the peril distant others will face as a result of their words.

every parents wants what is best for their children, but do their kids really have to attend private schools in the West? Is the healthcare in their hometowns so bad that really have to see Western medical doctors?

"Hamas leader Ismail Haniya: We will not leave our land, the people will not flee and we tell Egypt that our decision is to stay in Gaza."
