Bushehr in Beirut: Hezbollah Wants Lebanon to go Nuclear………….

“With all due love, I call on the people in every region to cooperate and be patient because there is concern that someone would infiltrate such protests and take the country to undesired consequences. As Lebanese we have to find solutions, therefore I call on the government to consider building a nuclear plant for peaceful energy. The cost to build Iran’s Busheher plant is far less than what Lebanon has so far spent on the electricity sector. We have the right to think about the nuclear solution and our ambition can take us to where we want to be. Water will be the most important resource in the future, because the region is heading towards a water crisis. We have water that is unfortunately not being invested, so we should build damns to preserve this resource.”…….”

Thus spoke Hezbollah Secretary General Hasan Nasrallah in a typical speech in which he also rejected the Lebanese army getting weapons from the United States (thus agreeing with some US Congressmen). Lebanon is facing severe energy shortages. The Israelis have not weighed in yet on this issue although they called the new Iranian plant at Bushehr “unacceptable”.
