Hezbollah: Trump, Allies to Be Disappointed by Iran Unrest Outcome

Nasrallah made the remarks on Wednesday in an interview with Lebanon-based Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news network.

“Trump’s hopes have been disappointed” as will the hopes of “all those who bet that the protests would grow and lead to the fall of the government and chaos in Iran,” he added.

He further stressed that the unrest was sparked by economical factors that were exploited by external forces.

“America, Israel and Saudi Arabia have entered the crisis in Iran,” he said.

Nasrallah went on to express confidence that Iran will bring the riots under full control.

“In Iran there is nothing to worry about and the issue is being taken seriously… The size of the protests is not large,” he added.

Meanwhile, Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari downplayed enemies’ military threats against Iran, stressing that the new sedition which showed itself in the form of recent unrests and riots in the past few days has ended.

“The enemies know that they cannot threaten the Islamic Republic of Iran in the defense field and they have spent all their capitals after the sacred defense (Iraqi-imposed war against Iran 1980-1988) to implement their cultural, economic and security threats against the Islamic Iran and they will certainly fail in these arenas too, with God’s help,” General Jafari said on Wednesday.

He referred to the recent unrests and riots during the economic protests in a number of Iranian cities and towns, and said, “Now we can say that it is the day when the (Iranian year of) 1396 (2018) sedition ended.”

Warning that the US, the Zionists and the Saudi regime have ordered the ISIL terrorist group to penetrate Iran, he said a number of leading ISIL teams have been tasked with infiltrating the country to conduct sabotage and terrorist acts. “These leading teams of the criminal group are now fully under control.”
