Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Tehran supports its ally Hezbollah in its decisions, after the group rejected a Lebanese government plan to disarm it.
“Any decision on this matter will ultimately rest with Hezbollah itself. We support it from afar, but we do not intervene in its decisions,” Araghchi says in a television interview, adding that the group has “rebuilt itself” following setbacks during its war with Israel last year.
