▪︎Relatedly, the Secretary General detailed their stay in Iraq, saying that Sayyed Abbas “was a target of the Iraqi intelligence, but he had already been back in Lebanon; so we sent him not to return to Najaf.”
▪︎During the interview, Sayyed Nasrallah not only tackled the life of Sayyed Abbas al-Moussawi, but he also sent a stern warning to the apartheid “Israeli” entity, calling it a “temporary regime,” whose termination is only a matter of time.

▪︎Sayyed Nasrallah also asserted that Hezbollah “was completely prepared for battle,” adding, “If the ‘Israeli’ enemy happens to impose a war on Lebanon, it will [then] get to witness our bravery.”
▪︎“When you choose silence and surrender your weapons, it is as if you are telling the enemy that ‘I am wretched and weak.’ [This is while] the enemy is arrogant and will render you weaker,” the Secretary General noted.
▪︎Meanwhile, His Eminence asserted that the Resistance had become stronger in all areas, including its military power and devotion, more than ever.
