The anti-Israel resistance front, thanks to solid and unwavering support from Iran and Syria, has well managed to frustrate the Tel Aviv regime’s plots in the Middle East, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said as he addressed his supporters via a televised speech broadcast live from the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Friday evening.

“All Lebanese and Palestinian resistance groups, supported by Iran and Syria, thwarted the project to pull the plug on the front. The steadfastness and resilience demonstrated by Hezbollah in Lebanon, Gazans, Syria as well as Iran foiled the fiendish plot against the region back in 2006.”

He then praised the sacrifices made by all members of the Islamic Resistance Support Association, especially the female members, over the past 30 years.

Nasrallah also condemned a recent decision by the British government to outlaw Hezbollah in its entirety, stating that some countries would follow suit.

“They list us as a terrorist organization because they have failed in their military confrontations and schemes, and are fearful of a new war. Hezbollah’s willpower and might is getting stronger day by day indeed.

“The latest US sanctions are part of the psycho-economic war against us. We expect further sanctions and punitive financial measures against Hezbollah and all its allies in the Middle East. The financial difficulties, which the anti-Israel axis of resistance is currently enduring, are part of the US-Israeli war on it. We must weather difficulties through patience, tolerance and good management,” he said.

Nasrallah further said that the United States wants to achieve through economic war what it has failed to accomplish via acts of aggression.

He expressed hope that Hezbollah will eventually emerge victorious from the ongoing financial war, Press TV reported.

Nasrallah added that Hezbollah has managed to collect more than two million dollars in donations for the crisis-hit Yemeni people, and transferred the money to relevant authorities there to be distributed among needy people.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Nasrallah touched down on the fight against corruption in Lebanon, stating that Hezbollah has launched the campaign in the country in order to preserve its national victories.

“We have already announced that fighting corruption and reducing bureaucracy must be among the major priorities of the incumbent Lebanese government. If the economy is in the doldrums, then the government would collapse and everything would be in disorder. We cannot stand idly by and watch Lebanon plunge into chaos,” he commented.

Nasrallah underlined that Hezbollah will never sacrifice Lebanon’s national interests to boost its own popularity, emphasizing that his movement will support any group or party that would contribute to the battle against corruption.

“Corrupt people and thieves are standing against this campaign. We will not get tired and will never lose our hopes in this regard.  Hezbollah will never stop the anti-corruption campaign regardless of all the sectarian and political considerations. There is national consensus on such a need,” the Hezbollah chief concluded.
