ME people main winner of Iran nuclear deal: Nasrallah

Alamnar TV channel published Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah interview on Tuesday with OTV, referring to the Iranian nuclear deal as a significant implications, expressing beliefs whose first winners are the peoples of Middle East.

“There were regional and international parties during the past years, pushing towards war on Iran. This option is neither easy nor simple for Iran is not a weak or isolated state. This option had serious implications against the region,” Sayyed Nasrallah stated during a live interview on the local OTV channel.

“Fist implication was to delay the war on Iran,” his eminence said, ruling out that the Zionist entity may strike the Iranian nuclear facilities without the American green light, while assuring that such a deal will not leave negative results on Lebanon or Syria.

Sayyed Nasrallah also pointed out that the Iran-P5+1 nuclear deal has devoted a new reality of multi-polarization, where there is no single state ruling the world anymore. “Multi-polarization leadership in the world prevents international domination and dictatorship and gives margins for the third world countries” his eminence elaborated.

The U.S. Foreign Policy

Sayyed Nasrallah stated that there are huge turning points in the U.S. world policy, highlighting that even though the nuclear deal is interim, yet some people rushed to say that it is a deal between the Valiye Faqih (Islamic Republic of Iran) and the great Satan (The United States).

“The US war on Iraq had doomed to failure. In Afghanistan, the U.S. reached a deadlock. In Lebanon and Gaza, the new Middle East also failed. They are failing so far in Syria. Iran has withstanded before sanctions and they (the U.S.) were unable to topple the regime. On the contrary, the Financial and economic situation in the U.S. and European countries is critical. Thus there is new U.S.-European situation,” his eminence expressed.

Justifying the American sponsorship for the Iran-P5+1 deal, Sayyed Nasrallah said that the Americans do not want to engage in a war, and they are sick of wars. Therefore, a door for nuclear deal has been opened and an interim deal was set.

“Americans requested to tackle more files while negotiating the nuclear issue, while Iranians wanted to tackle the nuclear file only. Iranians have no interest in putting all files on table and they insisted on negotiating the nuclear case alone,” his eminence said.

Hezbollah Secretary General indicated that Iran has stated for long that its political view towards the U.S. differs from that towards the Zionist entity, and that’s why the Iranian position on Israel is definite and has not changed.

“Iranian was saying that when the Americans admitted our rights and be ready to give the peoples of the region theirs, we will be ready then for dialogue with them,” Sayyed Nasrallah made it clear.

“There is a U.S. shift but the Iranian party still stands in place. It is too early to taclk about normalization between the two countries and there are a lot of pending files. I don’t predict near normalization,” he added.

Regarding the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s last visit to the Persia Gulf states, Sayyed Nasrallah said that Iran hasn’t cut relations with neighbor countries ever, but the problem lies with the other party, noting that the Iranian FM wants to reassure the Saudis that nothing has been agreed upon against their interests.

The Saudi Arabia

Leader of the Lebanese Resistance of Hezbollah pointed out that Iran had sought to open doors with the Saudis, but all attempts doomed to failure and the Kingdom was closing all doors.

Sayyed Nasrallah revealed that a Pakistani initiative had been presented upon which Iran had agreed while the Saudis rejected it.
“Before the departure of Prince Nayef, Iranian security minister visited the Saudi Arabia and met him. The minister tried to create a mutual understanding, but the reaction was negative 100 per cent.”

His eminence noted that since the beginning, the Saudi Arabia dealt with Iran as an enemy and Saddam Hussein’s war on Iran was financed by the Saudis. Iraqi and Iranian peoples paid for that war as well as the Palestinian people and the Kuwaitis.

“Saudi war on Iran hasn’t stopped since 1979. The Saudi party doesn’t dare to launch direct war with anyone, but fights through proxies and pays for them in Syria, Iran, Iraq and Lebanon,” he said.

Hezbollah leader highlighted that the problem between the Saudi Arabia and Iran is fundamental, noting that Prince Al-Walid Bin Talal’s speech does not express the Sunni view. Saudis problem with Iran is not sectarian because they had problems with Egypt, Yemen and Syria before. Those countries do not adopt the Shiite sect.

“The Saudi Arabia does not accept any partner. It wants to make all Arab countries subordinate to it.”
He also pointed out that “the Saudi intelligence is behind many of the bombings in Iraq, and operates some branches of al-Qaeda,” expressing beliefs that the Abdullah Azzam Brigades are actually standing behind the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Beirut two weeks ago, revealing that Saudi Arabia supports such groups.

Iran in the Region

Iran’s ideological position on Israel will not change, and its position on the Resistance will not change as well. In the Palestinian file, Iran also will not abandon its stance,” his eminence noted, expressing beliefs that there is no horizon for the settling the Palestinian-Israeli issue because negotiations have not reached yet the minimal rights of Palestinians.

“Iran is a major regional state. It is the most influential in the region today. It consults with us and sometimes it may adopt our right in full. This is not only related to Lebanon,” Sayyed Nasrallah unfolded, adding that If March 14 bloc relation with Saudi Arabia was like our relation with Iran, Lebanon would be problem-free. Iran does not interfere in our domestic affairs. It does not order us to participate in the cabinet. What Iran wants in Lebanon is that people understand each other and Lebanon wouldn’t be dragged into war.

“I wish the other party has a Valiye Faqih,” he said.
