Ahmadinejad: Israel terrified of Lebanese resistance

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said the Zionist regime of Israel is so terrified of the Lebanese resistance and people.

The Iranian president made the remark in a phone conversation with the Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, ISNA reported on Thursday.

President Ahmadinejad and Nasrallah also discussed the latest developments in Lebanon and the region. He further praised Nasrallah’s latest stance on the Israeli threats.

“The Zionists are really terrified of the resistance and people in Lebanon and the region,” President Ahmadinejad emphasized. “But they (the Israelis) are looking for opportunities to make up for their past defeats in Gaza and Lebanon as they feel their credibility and existence are in jeopardy.”

However, the president insisted, “They don’t dare to do anything as they are afraid of the consequences.”

The Iranian official further underlined the need for maintaining readiness against any potential Israeli threats adding, “If the Zionist regime want to repeat the same mistakes they previously made, they must be gotten rid of once and for all, so that the region will be saved from their nuisance for ever.”

President Ahmadinejad then reiterated that to this end, the Iranian nation will remain along the side of the Lebanese and other regional nations.

The Hezbollah Secretary General, for his part, said that Lebanon and the resistance movement are in favorable conditions.

“We are not afraid of the Israeli threats and the Israeli threats will not work,” Nasrallah said. “Strategically, Israel is not in a situation to wage a new war, but is after a psychological warfare with its threats… and of course, either way they will not get anywhere.”
