Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday called for unity in the fight against coronavirus, while also attacking US President Donald Trump for suggesting that Iran was hiding the number of cases of the virus in the country.

"Anyone who blames Hezbollah for trying to hide the number of cases of coronavirus is a liar," Nasrallah continued. "Trump tried to mitigate the issue, saying it is not an emergency and even less than a regular flu. After that, the governor of Ohio admitted that the United States may have 100,000 people infected. So the biggest liar about coronavirus is Donald Trump, and now Secretary of State Pompeo shamelessly claims that Iran is hiding the number of infections in its country."
