The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah said the United States does not want Daesh group to be destroyed and is providing the terrorists with assistance through its bases in Syria.
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks while delivering a speech addressing a ceremony held in Al-Ain town in North Bekaa region to commemorate two martyred commanders of the resistance movement, Press TV reported.
The ceremony was held after Hezbollah commander, Ali al-Hadi al-Asheq, and Hezbollah fighter, Mohammad Nasserdine, were killed, along with five other fighters, while fighting the Daesh terrorists in Syria last week.
“It is only the United States, which does not let Daesh be totally annihilated,” Nasrallah said in his speech.
The Hezbollah leader added that the US was helping Daesh through its base in Syrian city of Raqqa and also through a base it runs near Syria’s border with Jordan where Daesh terrorists are trained.
“US Air Force does not allow the Syrian Army and resistance groups to advance toward positions occupied by Daesh,” he added.
Nasrallah emphasized that Daesh would return to all areas it had lost if the fight against the group stopped, because Daesh was like a malignant cancer, which must be uprooted.
