"We have agreed to start loading the third vessel," Nasrallah said in a televised speech on Friday. "The coming days will prove those doubtful about the shipments arriving with fuel wrong … and our words will be clear when the first vessel reaches Lebanon."
On Sunday, Nasrallah said the first vessel carrying Iranian fuel for Lebanon had already departed.
Hezbollah's foes in Lebanon have warned of dire consequences from the purchase, saying it risked sanctions being imposed on a country whose economy has been in meltdown for nearly two years.
