Lebanese should be wary about plots: Leader

“It is highly likely that the Zionist regime and the United States will hatch extensive political plots to diminish the results of the recent victory of the Lebanese Islamic resistance and people. Therefore, the Lebanese people and Islamic resistance should be prepared for any possibility,” the Leader said during a meeting with Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

A delegation of Hezbollah and Amal members also participated in the meeting.

What happened during the 34-day Lebanon war was unprecedented, and more dimensions of this great and valuable action will become evident in the future, Ayatollah Khamenei added.

He described Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah as an exceptional figure in the Islamic world and expressed appreciation for Berri’s great efforts in the Lebanon-Israel conflict.

The unity between Hezbollah and Amal paved the way for this great victory, and the utmost efforts should be made to maintain this unity, he stated.

The morale of the Lebanese nation’s enemies has been weakened and with the help of God, Lebanon will be the field of a great defeat for the U.S. and the Zionist regime, he added.

Today, the U.S. policies are failing in the region and the world, and the subsequent opportunities should be seized by relying on God and entering into action, the Leader advised.

For his part, Berri said that Lebanon’s victory in the 34-day war was the outcome of the unity and resistance of the people and various political groups.

The victory in the war showed that faith is more influential and efficient than any weapon, he added.

God made the tricks of those who wanted to dominate the Middle East backfire, and the recent developments are the beginning of the collapse of U.S. imperialism, he noted.

The victory of the Lebanese people and Islamic resistance were also a major factor in the defeat of the Republicans in the U.S. midterm congressional elections, he observed.

Berri thanked Iran for providing moral support to the Lebanese people, saying, “Although the U.S. and the Zionist regime are trying to hinder Iran’s moral influence in the region, the Islamic Republic will be the main regional power in the new era.”
