Hezbollah politicians in Lebanon condemn US over Iran policy
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe parliamentary bloc of Lebanon’s Hezbollah has blasted the United States over new sanctions it imposed on Iran, describing them as “unjustified.”
The bloc says in a statement that the American moves against Iran show the US administration’s “tyrannical and dictatorial trend.”
Hezbollah, which is backed and armed by Iran and is represented in Lebanon’s Cabinet and parliament has been hit by US sanctions for many years.
The group says that America’s unilateral sanctions do no respect international laws and Washington “behaves in accordance with the law of the jungle.”
It says Iran has the power to defend itself.
