Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Hussein Haj Hassan said, "We are going through complex and pressing circumstances, and people's questions are many." He continued: "We are proud that we are allies of Iran, and that Iran has been and will remain supportive of us, and we are proud to rely on it, its power, and its achievements. Those who should be ashamed are America's allies, who look at the world as bags of dollars, while Iran sees us and we see it through the lens of principles, values, Islam, Christianity, and the prophets." He added: "In the confrontation between America and Iran, we are viewed with the eyes of satisfaction and hope. Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, and the global economy, and this is a weapon in our hands and in the hands of Iran's allies, through which we will impose our conditions." He considered that "the issue of ammunition shortages is a real issue, discussed daily by major American media outlets. Trump was talking yesterday about the ammunition shortage, and his secretary of war said a few days ago: 'The reason for the shortage in ammunition is the lack of investment for years in the US military by the Pentagon.' The one speaking is the president of a country whose budget this year is $1,500 billion, and last year it was $800 billion—were these not huge figures? Then they say they have a shortage of investment in the army! Do you know why? Because tyrants are governed by divine laws, and they are coming." He pointed out that "Trump failed to create a global alliance against Iran, neither through war nor through the economic blockade. Trump is talking about what he calls an 'economic Normandy'—to remind us of the American landing on the French Normandy coast in World War II against Hitler and Mussolini—but Russia, China, and a large number of countries refused to participate in this blockade, in addition to countries in the G20. And this will be a new failure for Trump. Of course, there is economic distress in Iran, which no one denies, and there is economic distress in America as well, where the American debt amounts to $40,000 billion! So we are in a confrontation; Iran possesses cards of strength, and America possesses cards of strength. Iran will not surrender and will not give up its cards of strength, and America is arrogant and wants Iran to surrender, and wants to win through politics, diplomacy, or economics after failing in the military war." Haj Hassan considered that "Trump's real crisis now is that he is unable to accept that Iran has held firm in the military war and has not fallen. He said in a statement: If the amount of ammunition dropped on Iran had been dropped on any other country, it would have surrendered, but Iran did not surrender. This equation has not yet reached a decisive conclusion, but it is heading in this direction. And we must trust our Lord first and last, and trust our capabilities—meaning the capabilities of the Islamic Republic and the capabilities of the resistance in the region—and we must stand firm and steadfast. We are not talking about illusions, but rather about facts published daily in the American, British, and Israeli media, even if these arrogant ones act Pharaoh-style." He touched upon Lebanese affairs, saying: "Martyr Jawad and all the martyrs performed a miracle, regardless of the results. Someone might come and tell you: 'There is occupied land, destroyed villages, and there are wounded, martyrs, and prisoners,' this is true, but the real and primary goal of the Americans and Israelis was to eliminate the resistance, since 2024 and in 2026, and the resistance thwarted this goal. Of course, we entered the war in 2026, and I will be clear with you about the reason for our entry into the war in 2026, because after 15 months of demanding that the state assume its responsibilities to implement the November 27, 2024 agreement, the state did nothing; rather, the authority in Lebanon colluded with the American and the Israeli. The most prominent of this was the statements of Youssef Raji, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who said that Israel has the right to kill and strike Hezbollah because Hezbollah did not surrender its weapons! Is there anything clearer than this? So that I do not say something else... The President of the Republic did not say anything, nor did the Prime Minister; they did not comment, nor did they deny, nor did they say 'we do not accept this statement.' We were concerned with entering a larger equation and becoming part of it, which is a regional equation led by Iran. And the other camp is within a path led by America, Israel's ally. We will continue our path and let us see where we will reach, and you continue your path and let us see where you will reach." He went on: "Our martyrs performed a miracle in the face of very massive firepower by the Zionist enemy... in the face of dozens of American, Western, and Arab intelligence agencies, the Mossad, the Shin Bet, and all Israeli agencies. In the face of very significant technological superiority by the American enemy before the Israeli one. And our people showed legendary steadfastness and still do. And the alliance between the Amal Movement and Hezbollah is growing firmer and more deeply rooted. These are all components of steadfastness." He asked: "If Hezbollah were defeated as they claim, and weak as they say from 2024 to 2026, why all this American, Israeli, European, and Arab attention? Delegations and agencies going and coming to Lebanon to present offers to the resistance! If we were the weak party to this extent, why all this attention? Because we are not weak. The story lies in the fact that we are still strong, and we will maintain our strength, the reasons for our strength, and our existence." He stressed: "We must stand firm no matter how severe the difficulties become, and we must stand steadfast and dream no matter how severe the challenges become, and victory is only patience for an hour. What does 'patience for an hour' mean? It means you do not know what will happen tomorrow, nor next week, nor after. By our nature as humans, we are in a hurry and say: 'Oh God, deliver us.' You who are patient, steadfast, determined, and firmly rooted, I tell you frankly: the option of surrender does not exist in our dictionary. And if we speak in the cultural, moral, historical, divine, and doctrinal dictionary, and even in terms of interest... Look at Syria before us! Since the first day, our brothers in Syria have been saying every day that they want to make peace with Israel, so Israeli aviation came and destroyed the Syrian army, and the enemy occupied land in Syria, and advanced to become kilometers away from Damascus, and occupied Mount Hermon, and they say clearly that they will not leave! And until now they have not been able to conclude an agreement between Syria and Israel, because the Israeli demands are unbearable. In any case, Netanyahu raised the map of 'Greater Israel' to all the peoples of the region, its countries, presidents, leaders, emirs, and kings, and they did not reply to him! They did not see it and did not hear it, but rather said: 'The matter is just a pastime.' Is Netanyahu amusing himself with the subject of Greater Israel? In fact, those who are amusing themselves are those who deny the Greater Israel project. Therefore, there is no logic in asking for peace with the enemy. And those who talk about peace with the enemy from among the Lebanese, to the best of my knowledge, used to say: No peace except at the end after the establishment of a Palestinian state according to the Arab Peace Initiative, or have you forgotten your words? Why the rush? With whom? With Israel? To the best of my knowledge, Lebanon is the last country to normalize relations with the enemy, so why are you in a rush and running? You haven't even driven the enemy out of a village! Until now, Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh and half of Zawtar al-Sharqiyeh... after eight or nine rounds of negotiations, and you still haven't been able to set the ninth round, you are still going back and forth! So there is no logic except the logic of steadfastness and firmness." Haj Hassan concluded: "O wretched Lebanese authority, you have plunged yourself into a labyrinth. Return to the people, return to Lebanon, return to national unity, and enough fragmentation so that you can get out of this labyrinth. As for you, O martyrs, you have our pledge, covenant, loyalty, and fidelity, that we will complete your path and join you as martyrs, if God Almighty wills, and that He may grant us what He granted you, and bestow upon us what He bestowed upon you of eternal bliss, everlasting eternal life, joy, happiness, and glad tidings."
