Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah will begin to import gasoline and diesel from Iran, the organization’s leader said on Sunday.

Lebanon is experiencing a severe fuel shortage.

"I assure you, yes, God willing, we will definitely bring diesel and gasoline from Iran," Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech, saying the government was no longer able to provide.

He added that the Islamic regime in Iran had assured him it would stand by Lebanon and blamed the Lebanese government and American influence for a lack of response to the Iranian offer.

"It's settled," he said, promising that he would inform people of the timeline in the next two to three days.
