Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday that the terrorist group based in Lebanon would begin importing gasoline from Iran.

Nasrallah mentioned in June that the importation of Iranian fuel would be carried out if shortages in Lebanon continue; he noted then that logistical planning was underway. The country’s economic crisis has led to long lines at gas stations with motorists often unable to get fuel.

U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea told local media: “What Iran is looking for is some kind of satellite state that they can exploit to pursue their agenda.”
