The secretary general of Lebanese Islamic resistance movement Hezbollah has vehemently opposed an anti-terrorism US-led coalition, calling Washington the source of terrorism itself.

According to Press TV, speaking on Tuesday, Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah said he opposed the coalition announced by the US, "because America is the mother and source of terrorism and it is an ultimate supporter of Zionism."

He stated Washington, which “launched atomic bomb attacks against people in Japan and launched wars in Vietnam and… supported Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the 50-day war against Gaza… is not qualified ethically and morally to present itself as a fighter against terrorism or as a leader for an international coalition” against terrorism.

The Hezbollah chief further said that Zionist regime was the mother of terrorism in the region.

Nasrallah noted that the Lebanese movement was strongly opposed to the ISIL Takfiri terrorists and has been fighting against them in Syria.
