Hezbollah leader says Soleimani killing marks new phase for region
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday the killing of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani marked a new phase in the history of the Middle East.
 
Referring to the date of Soleimani's killing in a U.S. air strike in Baghdad, Nasrallah said it was a "date separating two phases in the region ... it is the start of a new phase and new history not just for Iran or Iraq but the whole region".
 
He was speaking at the start of a rally in the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut to commemorate Soleimani.
 
Nasrallah also said that the U.S. military in the Middle East would pay the price for the assassination of Soleimani, calling this the just punishment for his killing.
 
"Responding to the killing was not only Iran's responsibility but the responsibility of its allies in the region too," he added.
 
"When the coffins of American soldiers and officers begin to be transported ... to the United States, (U.S. President Donald) Trump and his administration will realize that they have really lost the region and will lose the elections," Nasrallah said, referring to the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
 
Nasrallah said such an approach would force the United States to withdraw from the Middle East "humiliated, defeated and in terror ... as they left in the past".

He also said that U.S. civilians in the region "should not be touched", saying this would serve U.S. President Donald Trump's agenda.
