Moussawi: US Blocks Iranian Offer for Electricity, Backs Wheel-Revolution to Topple Gov’t
"Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc MP Nawaf Moussawi accused the US administration of "disrupting the generating electricity project provided by the Islamic Republic of Iran."
In remarks to "al-Joumhoria" daily, Moussawi stated that "the Iranian offer to establish electricity generators, which if constructed will cover Lebanon's need for 24/24 hours over a year, or to send electricity vessels has been set aside."
"They turned a blind eye on such an offer because of the US veto that threatened Lebanon with economic sanctions in the event the offer found its way towards implementation," Moussawi added.
He further addressed the US administration by saying: "Why did not you provide an alternative to this offer through your allies?"
"We know that the other team [March 14], backed by the US, has a problem with the weapon, but with electricity?" the MP wondered.
He also said that "because of the bad behavior of the colonial US administration, all the Lebanese people are deprived of the grace of getting help from the country's Iranian friend."
Moussawi believed that "there are those who want to turn the electricity crisis in Lebanon into another wheels' revolution to topple the current government."
"This would be similar to the first "revolution" that overthrew the government of former Prime Minister Omar Karami," he feared.
The MP asserted that "this attempt is associated with the pursuit of external and internal sides to overthrow the government," he added.
