The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the U.S. created the Daesh terrorists (also known as ISIS) and gave regional states the green light to fund and support the Takfiri militant group.
Mr. Nasrallah further went on to praise Iraqi Shia paramilitary forces for the key role in routing Daesh from Mosul.
The Popular Mobilization Units, commonly known by their Arabic name Hashd al-Sha’abi, along with Iraqi army soldiers have been made sweeping gains against Daesh since launching the Mosul operation on October 17, 2016.
He also stressed that contrary to claims by the U.S. army that the battle against terrorism will take years, it in fact only requires a concerted international effort.
The Lebanese leader also slammed some Arab media outlets for their attempts to fuel sectarianism and encourage the Takfiri terrorists to kill innocent people.
He further hailed Iraqi ethnic groups for their unity in the battle against terrorism. He also noted that a religious fatwa by Iraq’s top cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani— which was issued after Mosul fell to the terrorists—served to galvanize tens of thousands of Iraqi Shias.
The recapture of Mosul marked the biggest blow to the Takfiri extremist group since it declared its so-called caliphate three years ago. (RT.com)
