The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the country\u2019s prime minister has been under pressure to resign his post.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tSayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks in a speech on Sunday after the country\u2019s prime minister, Saad Hariri, announced his resignation through a televised statement from Saudi Arabia on Saturday citing fears about his life and accusing Iran and the Hezbollah movement of interfering in internal affairs of Arab countries.<\/p>\n

\n\tNasrallah noted that the announcement of Hariri\u2019s resignation came after a number of visits to Saudi Arabia, adding that the text and style of his resignation clearly showed that it was not his own text and was a Saudi text dictated to the Lebanese prime minister.<\/p>\n

\n\tSo far, we have reached the conclusion that nobody in Lebanon knows what the real reason behind Hariri\u2019s resignation is and everybody has been taken by surprise in this regard.<\/p>\n

\n\tSome people in Lebanon say the prime minister has been angry with some people and currents, but these remarks are not accurate and the main reason behind his resignation should be sought in Saudi Arabia, he added.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Hezbollah leader noted that resignation of Hariri may have been a result of the power struggle in Saudi Arabia or the result of the fact that Riyadh was not satisfied with his performance and had decided to see another person in his place.<\/p>\n

\n\tNasrallah said that resignation of Hariri was a plan by Saudi Arabia in order to replace him with somebody else.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is also possible that they want to disturb security in Lebanon and launch a war in the country like the war that has been waged in Yemen, he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn view of the above facts, Nasrallah noted, Hezbollah first of all calls on all parties to be patient until the real reason behind Hariri\u2019s resignation is made clear.<\/p>\n

\n\tSecondly, he said, Hezbollah seeks peaceful life in Lebanon and advised Lebanese people not to be afraid of the possibility of a new war in the country.<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\u201cHezbollah is totally responsible and we ask everybody to remain calm and protect the country\u2019s security and peaceful life in Lebanon,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\tThe Leader of Hezbollah movement further stated that legal institutions and regulations in Lebanon can help the country weather this crisis unscathed.<\/p>\n

\n\tNasrallah advised all political groups and currents in Lebanon to avoid any measure that would disturb order and peace in the country, emphasizing that pressures exerted on Hezbollah will not make it to change course and alter its policies.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe leader of Hezbollah also warned against a return of political groups to old times and resorting to street rallies, assuring that such rallies, if take place, would not solve any problem.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added that President Michel Aoun and Majlis speaker were doing their job without any problem and were awaiting Hariri\u2019s return from Saudi Arabia, \u201cif he is allowed to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\n\t\t\u201cAll of us must remain calm within legal frameworks \u2026 and I don\u2019t think that there is any party to clan in Lebanon whose interests are in Lebanon returning to chaotic conditions of the past,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\tNasrallah said any effort to disturb security and calm in Lebanon would not be in favor of people and would simply serve the masters of those groups that may seek insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Lebanese Hezbollah leader said the sole source that has talked about a possible attempt on Hariri\u2019s life was he Saudi-based al-Arabiya network while the Lebanon\u2019s army has not been able to find any clue to prove that such a plot exits.<\/p>\n

\n\tRefuting claims that Hariri\u2019s resignation was plotted by Israel to wage a new war on Lebanon, Nasrallah said if Israel wanted to wage a war, it would do so on the basis of its own calculations and it would not have anything to do with Hariri\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe also stated that Saudi Arabia and the Saudi-led coalition were also not possible to wage a war on Lebanon because they had no geographical access to the country.<\/p>\n

\n\tNasrallah emphasized that if Saudis could to anything, they would have done it in Yemen where the country is caught in a serious mire and is unable to achieve its goals.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Lebanese army announced on Sunday that it had not uncovered any assassination plots in the Arab country, noting in a statement that intelligence in its possession in addition to ongoing arrests and investigations had not revealed \u201cthe presence of any plan for assassinations in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tHariri announced his resignation in a televised statement on Saturday, citing many reasons, including the security situation in Lebanon, for his sudden decision. He also said that he sensed a plot being hatched against his life.<\/p>\n

\n\tHariri accused Iran and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah of meddling in Arab countries\u2019 affairs; an allegation the two have repeatedly denied.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Lebanese prime minister announced his resignation following visits to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe resignation also comes less than a month after he announced plans to join a coalition government with Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe became prime minister in 2016 after serving another term between November 2009 and June 2011.<\/p>\n

\n\tIran has vehemently rejected Hariri\u2019s remarks, saying his resignation and rehashing of the \u201cunfounded and baseless\u201d allegations regularly leveled by Zionists, Saudis and the US were another scenario to create new tensions in Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe sudden resignation of Mr. Hariri and its announcement in another country are not only regrettable and astonishing, but also indicative of him playing in a court that the ill-wishers in the region have laid out,\u201d Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe winners in this field are not Arab and Muslim countries but the Zionist regime (Israel) which has defined its existence in tensions \u2018in\u2019 and \u2018among\u2019 the Muslim countries in the region,\u201d the Iranian spokesperson added.<\/p>\n
