Speaking through a giant TV screen during a mass rally in honor of the visiting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, his eminence said: "There are those ... who speak of an Iranian scheme for Palestine, for Lebanon, for the Arab region ... and work to strike fear into governments and peoples."
"What Iran wants for Lebanon is what the Lebanese want. What Iran wants in Palestine is what the Palestinians want. That is the Iranian scheme."
“There are those who continually spread [the idea] that Iran is a source of strife and strives to tear apart the ranks. Here we must testify that the Iranian Islamic Republic is one of the greatest guarantees for an end to wars and the support of the people in our Islamic world today,” Sayyed Nasrallah told an ecstatic crowd of tens of thousands that gathered at the Raya stadium in Beirut Southern Suburbs.
His eminence added that the West has set itself against the Iranian president “because [Ahmadinejad] says that Israel is an illegitimate state and should be wiped off the map.”
Ahmadinejad, who arrived in Lebanon Wednesday morning on a two-day visit, waved at the crowd before taking a seat next to Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naim Qassem.
"The West can't put up with the Iranian president because he says the truth and declares that Israel must be eradicated. Iran's role in the Arab region is for the sake of the Arab Nation," Sayyed Nasrallah stressed.
"I bear witness that Iran has never asked us to thank it, and that Iran is practicing its divine duty in line with its creed and religion," Hezbollah Secretary General added.
Iran is "one of the most important guarantees in our Islamic and Arab worlds, and the greatest evidence on that is Iran's stance on the American pastor who wanted to burn the Koran."
Sayyed Nasrallah concluded his speech by thanking the Iranian president for his “courage, wisdom, humility and service to the Lebanese people.”
