Head of Hizbullah Intl. Relations: We Are in Touch with All European Countries But Two

Ammar Al-Mousawi, head of international relations at Hizbullah said that Hizbullah cooperated closely with Russia in Syria, fighting terrorism and preventing the fall of the Al-Assad regime. He made these remarks in an interview with Al-Manar TV (Hizbulah-Lebanon) that aired on March 25, 2021. Al-Mousawi said that when the Russians decided to intervene in Russia, it was a watershed moment. He added that Russia and Hizbullah together defeated the “enterprise” led by the U.S., and the “Friends of Syria Group,” which had used terrorism as a tool. Al-Mousawi said: “We had a 90% agreement [with the Russians] when the Syrian issue was discussed.” He stated that Russia and Hizbullah cooperate as partners, and “everybody knows” that Hizbullah is present at Hmeimim Air Base, the main Russian base in Syria. Al-Mousawi continued to say that Hizbullah is in touch with all the countries in Europe besides Britain and the Netherlands, and even the Americans have unofficial contacts with them.
