“Our goal is to break the black market and monopoly and alleviate people’s suffering,” Nasrallah said.

Nasrallah accused the United States of imposing a blockade in Lebanon amid the current shortage in fuel and medicines in the country while adding that the U.S. embassy in Lebanon interferes with fuel, pharmaceutical companies, civil society organizations and parties, as well as with municipalities.

Lebanon has been suffering from a serious shortage in fuel, diesel and gasoline which created complete chaos all over the country.
