BEIRUT, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that Warsaw summit does not constitute any threat to Iran and Hezbollah, Al-Manar Local TV Channel reported.

Nasrallah said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aims at mobilizing public opinion against Iran through this summit but this will not be successful.

The two-day summit in Warsaw, which ended on Thursday, was intended to build an international coalition to apply pressure on Iran and force countries who refuse to take part in the American sanctions that the U.S. President Donald Trump imposed on Iran.

"Iran today is stronger than ever before and it cannot be targeted with a war," Nasrallah said during a commemoration ceremony to mark the martyrdom anniversary of Hezbollah's leaders.

Nasrallah added that the United States is not ready to wage a war against Iran, which is why it is resorting to imposing sanctions on the Islamic republic.

Nasrallah said that the summit was supposed to focus on the fight against terrorism and preserving security but the real motive behind it was to highlight the normalization in ties between some Gulf countries and Israel.

"This becomes obvious when we see the Bahraini foreign minister sitting beside Netanyahu in the summit because Bahrain is part of the American-Israeli regimes in the region," he said.

Nasrallah called upon millions in the Arab world to stand against normalizing ties with Israel.

"This is the least that we can do especially that the Palestinian population is paying a heavy price with its martyrs every day," he said.
