RNA - “The US sanctions will have no impact on the mechanism of the political process of electing a speaker, deputy speaker and the parliament bureau, nor do they have an impact on the parliamentary consultations or the government formation,” a Hezbollah source told al-Joumhouria daily on condition of anonymity.
“These decisions have no value or political effect. They will not resonate with the peoples and free countries in the region and the world,” he added.
The US Treasury on Thursday slapped sanctions on two alleged Hezbollah financiers and five companies allegedly linked to the Lebanese group.
“We have been accused in the past and listed as terrorists because of our commitment to resist the Israeli enemy, and for liberating our land. Today we are again accused because of our serious resistance against Takfiri terrorism,” he said.
