In an extensive interview, Hezbollah's Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah revealed that the criminal assassination of Iran's top commander General Hajj Qassem Soleimani was not only an American crime but Israel and Saudi Arabia were culprits in the crime as well, even if their role was just to provoke Washington to commit it.

The Hezbollah leader said that it is not the responsibility of only one state or country to retaliate that crime but of any free individual who feels that they have fidelity to those martyrs.

Nasrallah stressed that the decision to free the region of US military presence has been taken.

The leader of Lebanon’s resistance movement spoke about the personality of General Soleimani and how he played a key role in the fight against the US occupation and the fight against Takfiri terrorists.

Experts believe that the example of General Soleimani, like many who were martyred before him, is that the cause of defeating imperialist projects continues regardless of the loss of one major leader as an individual.

The commander of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) was assassinated along with his companions in a US airstrike near Baghdad International Airport on January 3, 2020.

Hezbollah’s secretary general said that the crime of assassinating General Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis was orchestrated by the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, stressing that the killers will be punished.

Experts believe Saudi Arabia's role in funding assassinations goes way back in history, a role that goes against any leader who faces US-Israeli agendas.
