‘Axis of Resistance Thwarted Dangerous U.S. Plot in Mideast’
BEIRUT (Dispatches) – Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem says the "axis of resistance" has managed to thwart U.S. and the Zionist plots to divide the Middle East region by defeating Daesh.
Speaking at a memorial ceremony in Beirut, Qassem said the U.S. supports the Zionist regime despite its oppression and occupation because it is in American interests to transplant "this cancerous tumor” to disturb the region and to use it as "a stick" against the countries that disobey the United States.
Washington, he said, tried to destroy Syria in order to implement its plan for creating a new Middle East and dividing the regional countries, "but we managed to thwart the plot."
Like the Zionist regime, the U.S. also supports the terrorist "beasts" because that serves their interests, the cleric said, adding Washington and Tel Aviv do not care about other countries and nations.
"The entire world knows that the U.S. and its allies created Daesh and dispatched terrorists from across the world to Syria," Qassem said.
Their plan was to divide the region "so that they can control it easily" and to damage the true image of Islam and project a false and gruesome picture of the divine faith in order to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the world, he added.
Qassem emphasized that the "axis of resistance" has defeated the Takfiri project and that the terrorist groups are taking their last breath.
"If it weren’t for the resistance, Israel wouldn’t have left and Lebanon wouldn’t have been independent and become strong. And if it weren’t for the resistance, we wouldn’t have beaten Takfiri terrorism through the tripartite equation of the Army, people and the resistance,” he said.
