BEIRUT, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday accused the United States of pitting the Lebanese army against his party, al-Manar TV channel reported.

"The U.S. statements about supporting the Lebanese army to face Hezbollah aim at stirring sedition among the Lebanese," Nasrallah said in a televised speech about local developments.

The Hezbollah leader added that his party has always been in favor of reinforcing the Lebanese army which guarantees Lebanon's security, integrity and unity against any Israeli aggression.

Nasrallah also slammed the U.S. Justice Department for seizing dozens of Iranian-linked news website domains, saying this move exposes Washington's false claims about freedom.

Meanwhile, Nasrallah called upon Lebanese authorities to quickly form a cabinet to tackle the country's multiple crises, reiterating his readiness to import fuel from Iran if the government fails to deal with the shortage problems.

"Hezbollah has finished all the logistical preparations to import fuel from Iran. When the state fails to tackle the shortage crisis, the final decision will be taken," he said. Enditem
