Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s Secretary General:
– I announce that our first ship is completely ready, and will set from Iran within hours with the blessings of (Imam) al-Husayn to Lebanon
– This ship will be followed by another ship and other ships i.e. (what I’m announcing today) is not limited to one ship
– (Nasrallah to the Americans and Israelis): From the moment this Iranian ship sets sail (from Iran), we will consider (the ship) as Lebanese territory
– We are a people who will never allow our people to be humiliated
– Let no one make the mistake of entering into a challenge with us, because the matter has become linked to the dignity of our people, and we will never allow our people to be humiliated
– We extend our gratitude and appreciation to Ayatollah (Sayyed Ali) Khamenei and the Iranian President (Ibrahim Raisi) for their permanent support for Lebanon
– We thank Iran for its permanent support for the people of Lebanon, as well as for the resistance, (which enabled us) to liberate our land and repel (all forms of) aggression
– The severed hand of the martyr Qassim Soleimani (that laid) on the grounds of Baghdad Airport is a powerful witness (to the reality) that Iran never abandons its friends
