The Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, warned that his party will go to escalation in the event that his country does not obtain its oil rights, stressing that even if the Iranian nuclear agreement is signed, this will not have an impact on the talks on demarcating the maritime border between Lebanon and Israel.

Nasrallah stressed - at the ceremony of laying the foundation stone for the "jihadi tourist attraction of Janta" - that the rights demanded by the Lebanese state have nothing to do with the ongoing negotiations on the Iranian nuclear agreement, and said, "Whether or not the Iranian nuclear agreement is signed, if the American envoy to Lebanon does not give What he's asking for, we're going to escalate."

"If the American mediator comes and gives the Lebanese state what it demands, we are going to calm down," he added.

Recently, Nasrallah warned of the outbreak of a war, which he saw as subjecting Israel to Lebanon's conditions if it was prevented from extracting oil and gas from its waters, at a time when US mediation continues in the file of demarcating the maritime borders.

In early August, Anadolu Agency quoted a Lebanese source as saying that Beirut confirmed to the American mediator, Amos Hochstein, its adherence to the 23rd border line and the entire Qana oil field, and its refusal to share gas extraction and its revenues with Israel.

Lebanon and Israel dispute over a sea area of ​​860 square kilometers, which is rich in oil and gas, and previously engaged in indirect negotiations to demarcate the borders, mediated by the United States and under the auspices of the United Nations.

And between October 2020 and May 2021, the two parties held 5 rounds of talks at the United Nations headquarters in the Naqoura region (southern Lebanon), but they were later frozen due to fundamental differences.

Hezbollah laid the foundation stone for a "landmark for jihadist tourism" in the first camp established by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon (French)

jihad tourism

And yesterday, Friday, Hezbollah laid the foundation stone for a "master of jihadist tourism" in the first camp established by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon to train fighters from the party in the Janta region (east of the country).

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard took over the camp in 1982, and worked to expand it after it had been used for years by the Amal Movement, which is led today by Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

The former Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Abbas al-Moussawi, who was assassinated by Israel in 1992, participated in the first training session of the Janta camp.

At the Janta site, located in the eastern outskirts of the Lebanese Bekaa, military vehicles were installed on Friday, and Hezbollah elements were deployed in the surrounding hills, with a few hundred people participating, including party officials.

Hezbollah was founded in 1982 in the wake of the Israeli invasion with the support of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, and joined the armed groups that confronted the Israeli forces, then turned into the most prominent force that contributed to the liberation of southern Lebanon after about 22 years of Israeli occupation.
