Israel Cannot Tolerate Nuclear Iran: Hizbullah Of Lebanon

Beirut, July 31, IRNA – It is not acceptable for the Zionist regime to see Iran as a powerful state in the region, Head of Lebanese Hizbullah Shura Council Sheikh Mohammad Yazbek said Monday. Speaking exclusively to IRNA, Yazbek said Zionist regime officials have felt serious concern about the increase in the number of Iran's centrifuges as well as the country's peaceful nuclear activities. "Despite all challenges, wars and sanctions imposed on Iran, the country is still continuing its way towards progress, security and stability," the sheikh added. Referring to the ongoing crisis in Syria, he said that it was the objective of the global arrogance and its regional agents to protect the Zionist regime through complete destruction of Syria. Referring to the claims made by foreign powers about the alleged use of chemical weapons by Damascus, Sheikh Yazbek said they were just fabricated claims aimed at justifying direct intervention in Syria and occupation of the country in order to form a buffer zone to support Syrian opposition. According to Sheikh Yazbek, the best way to end the ongoing crisis in Syrian was to hold talks between the Syrian government and opposition groups in order to protect the country and reach a common viewpoint to defend Palestine./end
