Hizbullah, AMAL Renew Support for Syria, Iran
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Hizbullah and the AMAL movement on Monday said they would continue to stand by Syria and Iran against "international conspiracies" and "threats", as global pressure mounts on the two countries.
"The current events in Syria are clearly an international conspiracy against Syria's support for Arab and Islamic resistance movements in the region," they said in a joint statement.
"Lebanon will never be a conduit for a conspiracy against a sister state."
The statement comes amid renewed international pressure on Syrian President Bashar Assad over his brutal crackdown on an eight-month popular revolt.
Hizbullah and AMAL also reiterated their support for Iran, as pressure mounts on the Islamic state over its nuclear program.
"We firmly support the Islamic Republic of Iran against all American and Israeli threats," the statement said.
Hizbullah earlier this month accused Washington of ramping up pressure on Iran and Syria as a way to deflect attention from its "searing defeat" in Iraq.
The United States for its part has urged Lebanese authorities to protect their financial sector against potential Syrian attempts to sidestep sanctions, sparking fears that Beirut could be in the lineup of possible future measures against the Assad regime.

Criminals always stick together. They should realize the region has gotten fed up with Iranian fingers in the Arab world and Syria is the pipeline for it. The question is: Will the Hezz and Amal be pro-Syrian when there is no more ASSad or Baath party?

Hizballa & Amal; Why do you keep causing divisions in the Arab world? Why do you present America as your enemy, when you and Iran helped them militarily enter Iraq ? And yes Syria is our sister as well as the Syrian people but not Bashar and the criminal gangs!! The Arab world is sick of your deceit, games, and your political assassination.

Whatever, like anyone in or out of Lebanon is interested in your views or loyalties. All criminals belong in jail.
Time to free Lebanon, time for real resistance.

Where is their support and loyalty for Lebanon? Both are Syrian/Iranian leaches on the Lebanese cardiovascular system, draining the lifes blood from the Lebanese nation.
Happy Independence Day? With this sort of crap. The controlling political parties in Lebanon renewing their pledges to foreign patrons and sponsors on Lebanese Independence Day only underscores that we are not yet independent.
