Elsewhere in his remarks, Naim Qassem pointed to the recent development in Lebanon, noting that the US falsely claims that it tries to solve problems in this country but it should be kept in mind that the United States is not an impartial mediator, rather, it supports aggressor and wants to spread aggression in Lebanon.

“We do not take orders from anyone and we will not accept that Lebanon be shaped according to the wishes of the enemies,” Hezbollah secretary general added.
