I spoke to Hezbollah MP Hussein Hajj Hassan about the traitorous agreement signed between the Lebanese authorities and Israeli occupation, which he called “a scandal on every level. It represents the complete surrender of the Lebanese authorities before the Israeli enemy.” VPol: How will Iran respond? MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “The ones who started the war were the US and the Israelis. Iran is acting in self-defense against this war that was launched by these two enemies. Now, Iran has said that it will insist on Lebanon's demands, particularly the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon, in any agreement it may sign with the US. So, Iran has clearly stated that it supports Lebanon, while the Lebanese authorities have surrendered to the US and the Israelis.” VPol: Does Hezbollah consider the war to be over? MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “Hezbollah did not start the war. It was the Israelis and the US who started it. And if they do not respect the ceasefire—that is, if Israel violates the ceasefire—it is Hezbollah's duty to respond.” VPol: If US soldiers come to southern Lebanon, how would the resistance respond? MP Hussein Hajj Hassan: “Who said they have the right to come to Lebanon? Who said that?”
