‎RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers at the ‎Sayyidah Zaynab Complex in the ‎Beirut suburb of Bir al-Abd, ‎Hujjat al-Islam Ali al-Da’moush‏ ‏‎responded to the trip to the region by Mike Pompeo, the United States Secretary of State, ‎saying, “Pompeo has traveled to Lebanon and he had previously stated in the Occupied ‎Territories that he fully supports the Zionist regime.”‎

The vice-president of the Executive Council of Hezbollah said that Donald Trump, the ‎President of the United States, considered the Golan Heights as belonging to and as the right ‎of Israel and added, “The United States’ first priority in the region is to support and protect ‎the interests of the occupying Zionist regime.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Da’moush ‎stated, “What is the expectation of the Lebanese people after ‎the United States declared that it fully supports the Zionist regime and sees the Golan ‎Heights as part of this usurper regime? What expectations do they have of the politicians in ‎Washington? Do these actions, apart from provoking the Islamic Resistance Front, creating ‎internal disputes, increasing pressure on Lebanon and limiting its maritime borders, have any ‎other objective? Do they expect the United States to be a clear and neutral intermediary in ‎drawing the maritime boundaries and the boundaries ‎of the economic region?” ‎

The Lebanese Shi’ah cleric considered the United States as a partner of Israel and said, “The ‎United States has supported the Zionist occupation regime in all of its wars even against ‎Lebanon and Washington can never be honestly neutral on issues that are on the side of the ‎Israeli adventure.”‎

He said that the United States and Israel are seeking to steal oil from Lebanon and added, ‎‎“The Lebanese people must adopt equal positions to draw boundaries and not follow ‎American policies, which are the same as the policies of the Zionist regime.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam al-Da’moush‎ continued, “After suffering various defeats in the region, the ‎United States has now begun to change its stance in the face of sedition and civil war. ‎Anyone who thinks of national interests must condemn the actions of the United States and ‎not believe their promises.”‎
