Source: IRNA, 24-4-2006
Lebanese Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah here said it was unlikely the UN Security Council would decide to launch an attack on Iran vis-a-vis its nuclear case.
During a meeting with members of Hizbullah in eastern Lebanon, Nasrallah said the United States may, on the other hand, resort to other options outside the Security Council to pressure Iran to abandon its nuclear acticities.
But, he pointed out, Iran is fully prepared to confront any possible attack, adding that the Iranian government is determined to continue its uranium enrichment activities and has already planned the response to all possibilities and consequences of its decision.
He said it was very unlikely any military attack would be carried out on Iran or sanctions imposed as, he said, Iran would in all probability come out victorious in either move.
Even if sanctions were imposed on Iran the country has the potential to successfully confront its effects, Nasrallah said.
Any military attack on Iran will also be repelled, the Hizbullah leader said, adding that the consequences of war will not be limited to the country but will affect the entire region.
He said Iran`s joining the world`s nuclear countries turned a new page in Middle East politics, but reminded that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei had repeatedly declared Iran`s nuclear program to be for peaceful purposes.
Ayatollah Khamenei also declared Iran`s readiness to carry out all its nuclear activities under the surveillance of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Nasrallah added.
He said that Iran`s commitment to international regulations is its winning argument but that Washington ignores this and continues its threats of sanctions or military attack on Iran.
He said that US policies have obviously reached a dead-end in Iraq and that the Middle East, on the other hand, is moving towards a new frontier after the Iranian success in nuclear energy.
He explicitly voiced the Lebanese Hizbullah`s strategic relations with Iran, Iraq and Palestine.
