The deputy head of the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah said the US is cooperating with Saudi Arabia in order to restore its power in the Middle East.
‘The US, in cooperation with Saudi Arabia, is trying to restore its power in the region. However, we tell them that you will die before seeing your dream realized,’ said Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem during his visit to Tehran on Thursday, the Iranian state media network PressTV reported.
The US had been a staunch supporter of Israel, especially under Donald Trump. The US president made the contentious decision to move his country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a city split between Israel and Palestine. Most of the international community stands for the so-called ‘two-state solution’ to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which stipulates that both Palestinian and Israeli states should exist, side by side, within internationally-recognised borders.
