“Some people base their statements on positions attributed to us in the early eighties and which suggest the establishment of an Islamic republic; but I want to remind Christian leaderships who are speaking today about co-existence and civil peace, I want to remind them how they used to speak back then about a Christian country and federal division", he said.

The Hezbollah leader denied that his party is engaged in drug trade or money laundry, "we don’t have any business abroad ", he confirmed.

Commenting on the Lebanese developments, Nasrallah said that "the cabinet will survive for political and security stability is needed in the country ."
