The United States and Israel wanted to marginalize Hizbullah, but its secretary general, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, turned into a distinguished personality in the Arab world. Making the remarks at Tehran University campus on Friday, substitute Friday prayer leader of Tehran, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani hailed position of Hizbullah in the world of Islam and said that God Almighty has made the Islamic resistance movement papular worldwide.
According to Irna, he said despite strong emphasis and attempts by the US and its allies to remove Hizbullah, the reistance group has been resisting the Israeli assaults for five weeks. Referring to the incompetency of the United Nations in defending the rights of the Lebanese people, he said the Israelis waged war on Lebanon under the vain pretext of releasing two Israeli soldiers.
Elsewhere in his Friday prayers sermon, Ayatollah Kashani lashed out at the US for considering itself as the world master, saying the American values have lost their importance and its freedom and democracy slogans are no longer effective.
