59) Nasrallah: Israel is a mere tool, a forward base of the United States. But the United States is the enemy, which steals our region;s resources.

60)Nasrallah: I want to return to the matter of Just Retribution. It is not one operation - it is a path, a path of action that will lead to the expulsion of the United States from the Middle East. Or as leader Khamenei calls it, Western Asia.

61) Nasrallah: The strike on Ain al-Assad is not the end. It is a slap, but the first step in this long path of response to the United States, which will lead to the end of the American military presence in our region.

62) Nasrallah: I want to discuss this "slap" - when IRGC missile force struck Ain al-Assad, which was main target. Erbil was just a missile or two.

63) Nasrallah: By US SecDef admission, these missiles reached their targets.

64) Nasrallah: When they started saying there were no casualties, and tried to downplay this slap, this is something they're used to doing.

65) Nasrallah: This strike demonstrates the indescribable bravery of the Iranian gov't and people. Who are you striking? A US army base, this is something that hasn't happened since end of WWII.

66) Nasrallah: We're talking about a state with visible targets targeting America. Not an organization. The [1983] Marine Barracks Bombing happened.

67) Nasrallah: Who else on earth dares to target the United States? @realDonaldTrump made his threats, w/52 Iranian sites, but then he did nothing.

68) Nasrallah: This strike also revealed Iran's military strength.

69) Nasrallah: These missiles were Iranian made, not purchased w/billions from the US from the money of Iranian people. The officers were Iranian, and weren't rented from the US, unlike some regional countries. Missiles hit their targets accurately, 11 - per US SecDef - hit base.

70) Nasrallah: This means all US bases in the region are in Iranian missile crosshairs. And Iran has even more precise missiles, but is waiting to use them.

71) Nasrallah: This is message to all who conspire w/US against Iran, to the Zionist Entity who thought to play w/Iran, and @netanyahu who thought to conduct airstrikes against Iran, but this idiot didn't know where he was taking his entity.

72) Nasrallah: When the Israelis hear threats of Iranian leaders, they should take it seriously. Because the missiles might have struck Ain al-Assad, but the mourning over them was in Tel Aviv.

73) Nasrallah: Were there casualties? Aren't there? These are matters that time will show.

74) Nasrallah: Whether there were casualties or not, this was a great military accomplishment.

75) Nasrallah: The Americans have been thrown off kilter in the past few days. This is what Iran has accomplished, and now Israelis are seriously talking about Trump withdrawing from region.

76) Nasrallah: Now Americans are celebrating no casualties. Who are you, you are the United States, and your soldiers hid in fear from the missiles of an identifiable country.

77) Nasrallah: The American military leadership lined up behind @realDonaldTrump day after strike. Look at their faces. Did their faces show victory? A United States that is hegemonic and victorious?

78) Nasrallah: Even @realDonaldTrump's speech addressed a different matter, that he would not let Iran get a nuclear weapon. But Iran doesn't want a nuclear weapon.

79) Nasrallah: When strike was happening, @realDonaldTrump's military advisers were telling him that Iran would target all US bases in the region, Israel - per its threats - and that US didn't have military capacity to withstand this.

80) Nasrallah: @realDonaldTrump then came out the next day asking for negotiations w/Iran, cooperation on shared interests. This is someone whose forces had eaten 11 missiles the day before.

81) Nasrallah: He said he wanted to cooperate against ISIS. This hypocrite who killed Soleimani, the man fighting ISIS. He said he wished the Iranian people well, this man who is starving them w/ sanctions.

82) Nasrallah: I direct people to look at the @washingtonpost caricature on the missile strike.

83) Nasrallah: @realDonaldTrump is lying that Soleimani was planning attacks on US embassies. This is not true at all, and Trump is the biggest liar in America's history.

84) Nasrallah: This strike by Iran should give people confidence that they can confront America. Despite US great military strengths, they have their constraints. And again, this was a slap.

85) Nasrallah: Now, the rest of the path. 1) Iraq: Iraq is the first country concerned w/responding to this crime, because it happened in Iraq, and because it targeted Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a great Iraqi commander, and because Soleimani defended Iraq.

86) Nasrallah: I ask Masoud Barazani to thank Soleimani for his efforts in defending Erbil and Kurdistan Region, because Soleimani was the only one to respond to your call. Soleimani and with him men from Hezbollah went to Erbil.

87) Nasrallah: Barazani was shaking from fear, but Soleimani and the brothers from Hezbollah helped you repulse this unprecedented threat; and now you must repay this good by being part of the effort to expel the Americans from Iraq and the region.

88) Nasrallah: 2) Rest of the path of the Resistance Axis must begin its operations. We are serious, and our goal is to expel the United States from the region. This is a long-term goal.

89) Nasrallah: In coming days and weeks, US must leave this region. The alternative to their leaving alive is to leave dead, in coffins. This is an absolute decision in the Resistance Axis. It is a matter of time that we won't give up on.

90) Nasrallah: We won't forget this great crime, not in the coming weeks, months or years. We are talking about a new era.

91) Nasrallah: The Americans.. (correct himself) the American administration will pay a dear price, and that they erred in their calculations.

92) Nasrallah: The American leadership said in days after Soleimani's death the world was a safer place. They will discover in blood that they were wrong. Which world is safer? Only the world of Israel/the Zionists, and the world of the oppressors.

93) Nasrallah: You will discover that the world will become very unsafe for these people.

94) Nasrallah: We vow to continue down this path until we accomplish these goals. This blood will not go to waste.
