RNA - The secretary general of Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement underlined that the US-backed Persian Gulf monarchy (Saudi Arabia) will suffer a heavy defeat as the Yemeni population is increasingly standing up against the Al Saud regime.

“If Yemen leaves Saudi Arabia’s control, it also exits US control, and how can America let go of Yemen,” asked Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah Monday night during a live interview with Syria's al-Ekhbariya TV, adding that the Yemenis were seeking to turn their country into an independent one that supports the regional causes and the resistance movements.

Sayyed Nasrallah stated that Saudi Arabia wants to regain its dominance over Yemen, and every talk about the Iranian dominance over Yemen is untrue, but the Yemenis were seeking to turn their country into an independent one that supports the regional causes and the resistance movements.

The Hezbollah leader also stressed that the Saudis have in fact demonstrated their open support for al-Qaeda and ISIL terrorists, who are also a threat to Saudi Arabia’s own existence.

Nasrallah also reiterated that radical Takfiri groups such as the ISIL and the al-Nusra Front all fall under the banner of al-Qaeda terror group, and that no distinction should be made between the two.

Regarding the war in Syria, The Hezbollah leader pointed out that the Syrian crisis was hijacked by extremist Takfiri groups such as al-Qaeda, which he said had long sought control over Syria like in Yemen.

"Since the first day, Assad was ready to answer the rightful popular demands and for dialogue. When they (western camp) realized that, they pressed towards the wide military action."

"They didn't want to serve the interests of the Syrian people, but rather to topple the regime because it is resistant and independent, and because they want to dominate over Syria and turn it back to a country that has nothing to do with all regional events," his eminence reiterated, stressing that war on Syria has failed since the state and its sovereignty still exist.

"War on Syria has failed due to the steadfastness of the leadership and army, and the wide popular support."

His eminence said that there weren't in Syria anyone who wanted to go to dialogue, and most of the opposition parties are linked to foreign powers.
