The chief of Lebanon’s
Iran-allied Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, has warned that troops of the
United States in the Middle East would return
home in coffins.
Nasrallah explained that the
threat was in retaliation for the assassination of Major General Qassem
Soleiman.
The Hezbollah chief stated that
the response to the assassination of Soleimani was not only Iran’s
responsibility but also that of the entire axis of resistance.
Speaking in Beirut, Lebanon
yesterday, Nasrallah said: “When the coffins of American soldiers and officers
begin to be transported to the United States, President Donald Trump and his
administration will realize that they have really lost the region and will lose
the elections.”
He stated that attacks on US
military forces in the Middle East will be “fair punishment” for the crime,
listing US bases, naval ships and military personnel.
“The targeted killing of General
Soleimani and Muhandis is the beginning of a new era not for Iraq or Iran, but
for the whole region.
“We are witness to a heinous
crime whose perpetrators are well-known. US President Donald Trump said he had
ordered the (drone) strike (on the airport in Baghdad, Iraq).
“More than three years into his
presidency, Trump has failed to accomplish the goals he had defined at the
beginning of his tenure. Previous US attempts to assassinate General Soleimani
had ended in failure. All of Trump’s forms of pressure to subdue Iran have also
failed to realize that goal.”
A US-backed airstrike had killed
Soleimani, who is the Revolutionary Guard General and head of the elite Quds
Force, at Baghdad International Airport.
Soleimani’s killing had sparked
rumors of a third world war likely to start between the US and Iran.
Trump had disclosed that Soleimani was plotting to kill lots of American
citizens but was caught in the process.
Also, Iran had threatened to
attack the US White House, following warning of retaliation by Trump.
The threat was issued by Iranian
MP, Abolfazl Abutorabi during an open session of parliament in Tehran, Iran,
