Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah suggested that the next Lebanese government pursue drilling for oil and gas off of Lebanon's coast, stressing that Hezbollah could bring an Iranian company to drill, if necessary, during a speech on Sunday.

The Hezbollah leader offered to help drill for oil and gas in the waters of Lebanon's coast, saying that if no companies are willing to do so due to fears of US sanctions or Israeli strikes, the terrorist group could bring an Iranian company to drill. Nasrallah added that drilling for oil and gas in Lebanon's waters would rid the country of the need to import fuel.

Israel and Lebanon have been conducting US-mediated negotiations concerning their maritime border in the past year. The border dispute is about a triangular area of the Mediterranean Sea that starts at the countries’ land border, and is 5-6 km. wide on average. The area constitutes about 2% of Israel’s economic waters.

The countries hope that settling the border would encourage further gas exploration in the area.

Nasrallah also announced on Sunday that a first shipment of Iranian oil was on its way to Lebanon and that a second ship would set sail within the next few days. Nasrallah promised that more ships would follow.

"Our goal is to break the black market and monopoly and alleviate people's suffering," said Nasrallah.

The Hezbollah leader stressed that the group is "not a substitute for the state, importing companies, or stations" and does not want to compete with anyone.

"What we will bring is for Lebanon and for all the Lebanese, not for Hezbollah, the Shi'ites, or one region without the other. The goal is to help all the Lebanese and all the Lebanese regions, not to help one group without another group," said Nasrallah.

On Thursday, Nasrallah had warned Israel and the US that "from the moment the Iranian ship sails, [Hezbollah] will consider it Lebanese territory." The first ship, he said, would carry diesel fuel since that is currently the top priority. READ MORE
