⋯ Sayed Nasrallah: “The total number of martyrs in Lebanon are the ones who gave Lebanon this victory, & the total number of martyrs in Gaza are the ones who gave victory to Gaza, & the Iraqi martyrs are the ones who expelled the American occupation and terrorist groups from Iraq.”

Sayyed Nasrallah about Martyr Soleimani:

“The martyrs create inspiration with their sacrifices, and some of them affect their homelands, and those far from their homelands, and some of them affect the [Islamic] nation and the history of mankind.

“Hajj Qassem Soleimani is a martyr who transcended space and time, he is the martyr of the [Islamic] nation, or rather, the martyr of the world. He had a great ability to inspire future generations.”

⋯ “We need in every generation examples like these martyrs. They are present in all arenas, and their names and sayings must be revived to be preserved by generations because they constitute a very huge intellectual and spiritual wealth that should not be underestimated.

“The forms in which we remember the martyrs differ, and we must take advantage of all these forms so that their names, biographies and images remain present in the minds and in the conscience to inspire the spirit of launching in the generations.

“I thank the Asfar Association for their efforts, hard work, and sincerity in this competition, and for all those who fund, and thanks to all the poets and writers who participate in this competition. This work is valuable and of a high degree of perfection.”

Sayyed Nasrallah on the presidential election:

“We understand that religious authorities are putting political and media pressure on the political forces represented in the Parliament in order to speed up the presidential election, but we must pay attention to avoid sectarian incitement.

“None of the allies or opponents have any intention, and I am certain that there is no intention of any bloc in Lebanon to deliberately obscure the first Maronite position [Lebanon's presidency], and everyone wants to elect a president, end this vacuum, and return to normal.

“The truth is that the Parliament says that voting must be in a specific form and the number of votes is specified. No one has the majority to ensure victory in the first round to deliver the character he sees appropriate to save Lebanon.”

Sayyed Nasrallah on Iran's offer to remedy the electricity crisis:

“The electricity crisis transcends sects and regions. Some leaders may not live through it, but it is a real suffering and its impact on the normal life of people.

“Months ago, we were told that there is a problem with fuel, so can we get a certain amount of fuel from Iran for a period of six months for seven hours a day, and this can make a quantum leap in the electricity sector and we can build on it to continue.

“The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, and the Iranian President, Sayyed Ibrahim Raisi, personally agreed to help with the fuel for Lebanon, and the Iranian leadership showed great willingness to help.”
👍14👎7
🔴 Sayyed Nasrallah on the status of Iran's offer to Lebanon:

“The Iranian fuel offer is still valid, and what is preventing its implementation are the Americans, who informed officials in Lebanon that accepting this offer is forbidden.

“One [of the US-aligned politicians] said that “they want Iran to help us but what Iran can offer to Lebanon?” This ‘brilliant’ MP we have in Lebanon and with his level of information does not know that Iran manufactures cars, drones and other things.

“There is fuel to solve the electricity crisis for six months or more. We benefited from our friendship with Iran and made an offer. You, friends of America, let yourselves benefit from your friendship with it to obtain an exception for the Iranian fuel.”
👍20👎2
⋯ Sayyed Nasrallah: “We are considered masters by Ayatollah Khamenei, and this is reaffirmed every day, but what are you to America and Saudi Arabia, slaves? Bring the exception, and I guarantee, that the Iranian ships will reach Lebanon.”
👍18👎5
Sayyed Nasrallah alluding to the tensions with FPM since December:

“We are committed to attending the session to address the electricity crisis. It is not a challenge to anyone, just as we do not challenge the prime minister and ministers by withdrawing if they decide to discuss the rest of the points.

“We hoped that the session would be limited to the most urgent issue, which is the issue of electricity, and we will not bypass this discussion in order to spare the country any more political tension. This is a demonstration of our concern.”

📦USA quietly shipping munitions from Israel to Ukraine

The New York Times says that Israel has allowed the US military to supply Ukraine with 300,000 155-millimeter rounds from warehouses in Israel.

Though the stockpile in Israel is intended for use in America’s Middle East conflicts, the Pentagon is reportedly “scrambling” to find munitions as Ukrainian troops use around 90,000 shells per month – twice the rate produced by the USA & Europe combined. (RT)

“About half of the 300,000 rounds destined for Ukraine have already been shipped to Europe.”
