" The just punishment " for the assassination of Qassem Soleimani is to target a personality of his caliber, warned Sunday January 5, Hassan Nasarallah. But since such a profile does not exist in the United States, the solution is to target the American army to drive it out of the region.
The head of Lebanese Hezbollah, an ally of Iran, set the tone for the response to the death of the famous Iranian general. According to Hassan Nasrallah, it is necessary to target the soldiers, the officers, the bases and the American military installations in the countries of the region, while sparing the civilians. " The suicide bombers who have hunted Americans in the past are still there, more numerous and more determined, " he said.
Speaking at a ceremony in memory of Qassem Soleimani in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Hassan Nasrallah said that when President Donald Trump sees the coffins of US soldiers repatriated, he and his administration will know that they have lost the region and the next election.
Hassan Nasrallah added that the elementary response to the assassination of Soleimani and Abu Mehdi al-Mouhandis, number 2 of the pro-Iranian Iraqi militias, is to drive the American army out of Iraq. " Iraq must free itself from the American occupation ," he insisted.
