Lebanon's Hezbollah says Iranian fuel oil to arrive this week

Hezbollah leader said ship carrying Iranian fuel oil to help Lebanon through its financial crisis had docked in Syria.

Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Lebanon's armed Shi'ite movement Hezbollah, said on Monday that a first ship carrying Iranian fuel oil to help Lebanon through its financial crisis had docked in Syria on Sunday. Nasrallah had announced last month that he had organised purchases of fuel from Iran, Hezbollah's main backer but subject to U.S. economic sanctions, to ease a crippling shortage.
