Hezbollah leader : U.S. soldiers and officers will return home in coffins

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has said the U.S. military in the Middle East would pay the price for the killing of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, saying that U.S. soldiers and officers would return home in coffins, Reuters has reported.

“Fair punishment is aimed at the American military presence in the region: American military bases, American naval ships, every American officer and soldier in our countries and region,” Nasrallah said.

“When the coffins of American soldiers and officers begin to be transported ... to the United States, Trump and his administration will realize that they have really lost the region and will lose the elections,” Hezbollah leader said.

H noted that U.S. civilians in the region “should not be touched” because this would serve the agenda of U.S. President Donald Trump.
