TEHRAN (Defapress) - Sheikh Naim Qassem, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, addressed a conspiracy orchestrated by the U.S. and the Zionist regime against Lebanon during his speech last night, Wednesday, on the occasion of the seventh night of Muharram at the Ashura gathering in the Sayed al-Shuhada Complex in Beirut’s southern suburbs. He stated: "The occupying regime has no right to interfere in our internal affairs."
We Will Never Surrender Our Weapons to the Enemy
Sheikh Naim Qassem added: "We will not allow anyone to threaten us for concessions, because we will never relinquish our rights, nor will we ever agree to surrender our weapons to the Zionist enemy."
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah emphasized: "There is an indirect agreement for a ceasefire with the Zionist regime through the Lebanese government, and this regime must adhere to it. However, when it comes to matters concerning Lebanon’s internal affairs, we manage them ourselves. Others have no right to interfere."
Iran Follows the Path of Imam Mahdi (AJ)
He further noted: "We see ourselves as soldiers on this path. Imam Khomeini (RA) repeatedly emphasized in his sermons that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the government of the Imam of the Age (AJ), because the path it follows, tireless struggle for truth, is the same path Imam Mahdi (AJ) will undertake."
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah continued: "Have you not heard Netanyahu say, ‘We are changing the new Middle East’? What does ‘change’ mean? It means they are trying to reprogram the Middle East, reshape it, and tie the region to themselves. Those who think Israel has no issue with them, only with Palestine or Lebanon, are deeply mistaken, because this regime poses a strategic threat to all."
The Great Victory of the Resistance is Imminent
This prominent leader of the Resistance pointed out: "Imam Khomeini’s (RA) description of the Zionist regime as a ‘cancerous tumor’ is one of the most accurate and striking things I have ever heard. The reality is exactly so. The Zionist regime is a cancerous tumor that multiplies, attacks healthy cells, and destroys the human, social, and future conditions of our nations."
Sheikh Naim Qassem declared: "Ultimate victory has been promised to us, and this victory will be grand and glorious when its time comes. Before that, there will be stages of victory at various levels. We believe that comprehensive triumph will prevail across the world, and before that, there will be many victories along the way."
Israel is a Real and Strategic Threat to the Entire World
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah stated: "We confront the Zionist enemy not only as an occupier but as a strategic threat to Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, the entire region, and the whole world. With its policies and actions, Israel poses a real threat not only to Muslims but also to Christians, Jews, the American people, and the entire world."
He added that after the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon, the Zionist regime continued its aggression, violating the truce over 3,700 times, and said: "We will never accept humiliation, surrender our land, or hand over our weapons to the Zionist enemy. We are a people raised in the path of Imam Hussein (AS), alongside the Master of Martyrs of the Islamic Ummah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. We believe in this path and have made great sacrifices for it."
We Will Never Surrender to the Enemy
The Secretary-General of Hezbollah emphasized: "All our sacrifices have been for the defense and continuity of our path, and we will never surrender to the Zionist enemy. Those who walk the path of Imam Hussein (AS) must never submit to the Zionists. Therefore, we raise our voices and shout: ‘We will never accept humiliation or surrender, do whatever you want!’"
He stated: "The Americans come and tell us, ‘You must make concessions to Israel because they are not satisfied!’ Some Europeans also come and say, ‘By God, we know you are right, but what can we do against Israel? There is no solution except to comply with this regime’s demands.’ I tell them: This is absolutely impossible, and such talk is useless."
Sheikh Naim Qassem stressed: "Hezbollah will never yield to pressure, because right is on our side, Israel is the aggressor, and America is its accomplice, always plotting invasion and occupation. It is this Zionist regime that disrupts the lives of the Lebanese, and we must reject it and stand against it."
A Tribute to the Resistance Fighters
In his concluding remarks, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah addressed the resistance fighters: "Strengthen resolve in our hearts and follow the example of the Eminence Abul-Fazl al-Abbas (AS). I am proud of you and overjoyed to stand with you in carrying the banner of Hezbollah and the Resistance until victory is achieved. You are the apple of our eyes, and we will remain by your side, harnessing your capabilities in the path of Islam, Wilayah, the cause of truth, and the Resistance."
