Hariri court signifies U.S. psywar: IRGC general
TEHRAN, Jan. 18(MNA)--The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Masoud Jazayeri said the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) signifies the U.S. psychological warfare against Lebanon.
The STL is investigating the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri.
On Wednesday, 11 ministers of the March 8 Alliance, whose main parties are Hezbollah, Amal, and the Free Patriotic Movement, quit the Lebanese cabinet over tensions arising from the SLT and the indictment expected to be released soon.
Hezbollah has called SLT an “Israeli project”.
“The U.S. is aware that it cannot rival the heroic Hezbollah", Jazayeri said.
Therefore, the U.S. is doing everything in its power to create instability in Lebanon, Jazayeri noted.
The general said the Zionist regime’s defeats in military confrontations with Hezbollah and Hamas coupled with the “strategic” failures of the United States – as the main ally of Israel - in Iraq and Afghanistan have compelled Tel Aviv and Washington to resort to psychological warfare against the Lebanese.
He also called on the people in regional countries, particularly in Lebanon to remain vigilant in the face of political and anti-security measures by outsiders.
