Pro-Hizbullah Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar: "A New World: The West Has Capitulated!"

Pro-Hizbullah Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar: "A New World: The West Has Capitulated!" (Memri).

Several hours after the joint statement by Iran and the world powers in Lausanne, Switzerland on the Iran nuclear deal framework, Ibrahim Al-Amin, the board chairman of the pro-Hizbullah Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar, published an article in the daily titled "A New World: The West Has Capitulated!" 

In it, he wrote that in every conflict there is a winner and a loser, and that in this case it is the West, led by the U.S., that has been defeated.

He said that what happened is a great achievement, for it is not just Western recognition of Iran's right to nuclear energy, but Western recognition that every nation is entitled to attain its rights – which will lead to greater rebellion against Western and American hegemony in the coming years.

He concluded his article by saying that in his speech following the joint statement, President Obama implicitly acknowledged that the U.S. had had no other choice, and that Iran's enemies heard Obama saying, 'I am at your service, Khamenei." 

The outcome of this conflict is simple: the West has capitulated!

"What happened yesterday can only be called historic, and Obama accurately described what really took place. He described the facts of the negotiations, which reflect the real balance of power. He was not happy enough to say that this was a new victory for America. Rather, he came close to saying that there had been no other choice. But the real tragedy for the enemies of Iran around the world was that they heard Obama end his speech yesterday with the words "Khamenei, I am at your service!"  Hmmm.....The 'legacy' of Hussein Obama......'A new beginning'
