The head of Hezbollah Executive Council Sayyed Hashem Safieddine said that Hizbullah was very close to the moment when it will take its decisive position.

In a speech he delivered during a religious ceremony marking Ashura in Beirut's southern suburb, Sayyed Safieddine said that the Resistance has fully explained the situation to the whole world, stressing that the Resistance will be ready to defend Lebanon as it has always done.

"If some sides insist on serving the American project to target the country and the Resistance, then we will also be ready to defend Lebanon," Sayyed Safieddine said. "We will never accept that the country be targeted by "Israeli" and the US," his eminence added.

While calling on all parties to assume their responsibilities, Sayyed Safieddine said that the Resistance was not worried at all, stressing that it would be ready to assume its responsibilities. "Whoever thinks of getting rid of this Resistance is mistaken."
