Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, hailed as victory the framework accord clinched between Iran and the world powers over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

His eminence said that the deal is considered a “victory for the will of free peoples and the resistance project led by Iran.”

The deal is recognition by the world powers of Iran’s position and role in region and the world, Sheikh Qassem said during an Hijab ceremony in al-Mahdi Schools in Beirut.

On the US-Saudi aggression on Yemen, Hezbollah’s Deputy S.G. said that Riyadh committed a strategic mistake as it waged the attack on Yemen.

“Saudi claims it is protecting the legitimacy of Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi, the fugitive president…” Sheikh Qassem said, wondering why Riyadh did not do so concerning Syria.

“Why didn’t you do the same thing in Syria with President Bshar al-Assad, who is legitimate and the people (of his country) have been with him?”
