M.A.

The secretary general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement says the US created the Daesh terrorists and gave regional states the green light to fund and support the Takfiri militant group. 

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made the remarks during a live broadcast from Beirut on Tuesday evening following the Iraqi victory over the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group in the northern city of Mosul, which marked the end of the nine-month battle for control over the extremists’ former stronghold and Iraq’s second largest city.

In the speech Nasrallah also touched upon on a number of other international issues as well as political developments in Lebanon.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi formally declared triumph over Daesh in Mosul on Monday evening.

“I announce from here the end and the failure and the collapse of the terrorist state of falsehood and terrorism, which the terrorist Daesh announced from Mosul,” Abadi said, adding, “It was due to the Iraqi nation’s united front and sacrifice that we are now celebrating the victory over Daesh. This is the victory over darkness and terrorism.”

The recapture of Mosul marked the biggest blow to the Takfiri extremist group since it declared its so-called caliphate three years ago.
