Nasrallah Urges Iraqis Not to Pin Hopes on US in Battle against Daesh

"We look forward to the victory of the Iraqi people against Daesh. We urge them not to pin their hopes on the US or the West. You have enough courage to defeat them all," Nasrallah said during an address on the occasion of Ashura mourning ceremonies in Beirut on Saturday, Press TV reported.   

Elsewhere, he reaffirmed Hezbollah's all-out support for the Palestinians and their legitimate demands.

Nasrallah further pledged that the Lebanese movement will continue to fight against the Takfiri terrorists operating in Syria and Iraq. 

"We will continue our struggles in the face of the United States and the Takfiris," Nasrallah said.

He pointed to attempts by enemies to defeat Syria by fueling Takfiri violence in the country, saying, however, they should “forget the illusion” that they could eventually make the Arab nation fall as it will continue resistance.

The anti-Israel resistance front is determined to stand firm against the “American-Takfir terrorist war” on our nations and religion, Nasrallah added.

The Hezbollah chief condemned the Saudi aggression against Yemen as well as Al Saud and Al Khalifa regimes' crackdown in their respective countries.

Riyadh is committing crimes and massacring civilians in front of the eyes of the world, he said, adding Yemeni armed forces and popular committees will eventually emerge victorious in their fight against the Al Saud regime and its agents.

"We denounce the attacks against Yemen and its innocent people. We are proud of their resistance"  

Pointing to the diplomatic standoff in Lebanon, Nasrallah urged unity and abstention from trading accusations. He said the ongoing negotiations in the country should be continued seriously "because there is no substitute."
