Nasrallah: We to buy Iranian oil if Lebanese state continues to inaction

SANAA, Jun. 08 (YPA) – The Secretary-General of the Lebanese “Hezbollah” Hassan Nasrallah touched on the fuel crisis in Lebanon, calling for importing the Iranian oil to address the gasoline crisis in Lebanon.

Nasrallah indicated in a televised speech that “Iran’s offer to send fuel to Lebanon in the Lebanese currency is still valid, but we need a bold political decision.

He declared that “if the state remains inactive, we will go to Iran and negotiate with the Iranian government to buy oil and diesel ships and bring them to Beirut port.”

He added: “We are facing a major economic crisis, and its solutions need years and it is not permissible to wait to end the current situation without a solution.

“Accusing Hezbollah of being the cause of the economic crisis in Lebanon and ignoring the real reasons, is an American and Israeli speech,” he said.

He stressed that “the monopolists are known by their names, but they are released and have fun and enjoy political coverage,” calling on the ministries to “declare war on monopolism and monopolists.”
