Leader of the Lebanese Hizbullah, Hassan Nasrallah, said Monday night that all signs of US defeat are clear in the region given the firm intention of regional states to resist US plans.
"Experience of the past three decades, Iran's Islamic Revolution in particular, proved that US was not able to reach all its goals in the region," the prominent cleric said speaking in a teleconference with Iran's state television's channel 2 news program.
He added that emergence of regional resistance movements and uprising in the past three decades have proved that "US expansionist plans were damaged and Washington has failed to fulfill its dreams in the region."
Asked how he had successfully gathered different Lebanese parties and religious minorities together in the name of Hizbullah movement, Nasrallah said "It is a common point among all who live in Lebanon that "Israel" is an occupier and criminal enemy."
"Everyone in Lebanon believes that "Israel" is a common enemy of all Lebanese and it is easy to gather people together to confront a common enemy," he said.
He added that Hizbullah has special place for almost all Lebanese people and that minor disagreements, if any, could not damage its dignity and status.
