Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, in his speech on June 9 on the internal issue in Lebanon, addressed the issue of elections and the economic situation.

Nasrallah said he opposed the interim Prime Minister's intention to postpone the country's elections and that, despite the circumstances, they should be held on time. He also called on the political parties to address the socio-economic crisis.

He added that Hezbollah is still making every possible effort to form a new government that can deal with the shortage of labor, energy sources, and food products.

Nasrallah made clear his worldview regarding the current crisis and claims that it has been affecting the Lebanese economy for 40 years: "The government must deal with the current situation by fighting against monopolies and stopping those monopolies."

He noted that the fuel crisis that requires hundreds of cars to go to the gas stations is humiliating, adding that the government can address this crisis by one brave decision - importing fuel from Iran.

In this context, he added that the Iranian offer to sell fuel in Lebanon in Lebanese pounds is still valid, and warned against succumbing to American pressures aimed at preventing Lebanon from carrying out this deal.

He also flatly rejected reports of government subsidies as set by the IMF.
