-- S.Narallah's speech just started. We'll translate soon.
1) Nasrallah: I want to give my condolences to the families of all those who died in this ugly American crime, particularly to the family of Qassem Soleimani.

2) Nasrallah: I want to first talk about the two martyrs, particularly Qassem Soleimani, and his connection to Lebanon and the resistance in Lebanon, since I didn't have a chance to do so last Sunday.

3) Nasrallah: So we can thank them, because it is a Divine command to thank human beings who have done us good, like we thank God.

4) Nasrallah: Soleimani did not represent himself, but Iran and its wise regime - and in that capacity he gave so much to the countries of our region. Each country can talk about their own, I will talk about Lebanon.

5) Nasrallah: We also want to give an idea of the kind of commander produced by this ideology, and by the Revolution of Imam Khomeini - the true Muslim commander.

6) Nasrallah: When he took over the Quds Force, he came to Lebanon to meet us. He didn't wait for us to go to Iran.

7) Nasrallah:He quickly established an excellent relationship w/leadership of Hezbollah, particularly the jihadist commanders.

8) Nasrallah: He quickly learned Arabic. From the first hours, we didn't feel any sense of formality. At all. He was one of us, like one of our ordinary brothers.

9) Nasrallah: His relationship w/our brothers in the Resistance reached the lover of brotherhood. They would miss him and yearn for him. He would be happy for our joys, and sad for our pain. Instead of us going to him, he would always come to us.

10) Nasrallah: Instead of us sending people to Iran to ask for help, he would periodically come here to Lebanon, and ensure that all our needs were met by Iran.

11) 13-Nasrallah: It all started in 1998. if you go back to 1998-1999, the apex of Hezbollah's activities in south Lebanon [against Israel.] One of main reasons was Soleimani's assistance, and he was a chief partner in the May 2000 liberation. We've never talked about this before.

12) Nasrallah: After Israel withdrew, some could think the battle was done. But Soleimani agreed w/us this was just the beginning, that Lebanon was still under Israeli threat, and Israeli desire for revenge.

13) Nasrallah: So need became one to transform Resistance from force carrying out war of attrition against Israel in south Lebanon, to improving its capabilities to give it deterrence capabilities against Israel. This is where the rocket capabilities come in.

14) Nasrallah: Soleimani followed up with this on an almost daily basis.

15) Nasrallah: Qassem Soleimani was tireless, even when we would tire.

16) Nasrallah: When the 2006 war started, he was in Iran. He came to Damascus, and called us telling us he wanted to come to Beirut. We warned him against it, but he wouldn't relent. He came to Dahiyeh, and stayed w/us the entire war.

17) Nasrallah: He stayed w/us under the bombs. He could have helped us from Damascus, but he insisted on being w/us in the operations HQ. He said, "either I will live with you, or die with you."

18) Nasrallah: Until August 14, when it became clear the war would end. He asked us what we wanted when he returned to Tehran. We said our first priority is the dispossessed persons, and we need large sums of money to help them find shelter, rebuild homes.

19) Nasrallah: After 2006, he kept up his efforts tirelessly, until the winds of war took over the region and Syria. I'm still only talking about Lebanon, not about Palestine or elsewhere.

20) Nasrallah: He shared our reading of what was going on in Syria. Some were minimizing what was going on in Syria, the level of jihadist threat from ISIS. Had ISIS not been defeated in Palmyra, Homs, etc. could we have expelled them from Arsal? This was one battle.

21) Nasrallah: It was single war from Arsal all the way to the eastern Syrian desert.

22) Nasrallah: After battle of ISIS, Hezbollah's current deterrent capabilities, even according to Israeli estimations - which I won't say I agree with - became an existential threat to Israel, in light of precision missiles.

23) Nasrallah: Israel not only sees Hezbollah as capable of defending Lebanon and its natural resources, but as threatening its very existence. We never thought this would happen. And they're not exaggerating, it's a form of truth. This is thanks to Iran, embodied in Soleimani.

24) Nasrallah: Not once did Soleimani demand thanks or act like we owed him anything. Not once, not in a single expression. He considered this as a duty, to please God, and would grant him reward on Day of Judgment. He would even call himself our servant.

25) Nasrallah: These 22 yrs, Soleimani never ordered us anything or asked us anything. Neither did Iran. Yes, he asked advisers from Hezbollah to help Iraqis - but not for Iran.
