BEIRUT - Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Sunday the killing of Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani marked a new phase in the history of the Middle East. Referring to the date of Soleimani's killing in a U.S. air strike in Baghdad, Nasrallah said it was a 'date separating two phases in the region ... it is the start of a new phase and new history not just for Iran or Iraq but the whole region.' He was speaking at the start of a rally in the Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs of Beirut to commemorate Soleimani.
