TEHRAN (Sputnik) – Iran has condemned the Cooperation Council for the Arab
States of the Gulf (GCC) for its decision to designate the Hezbollah
militant group a terrorist organization and serves Israel’s interests,
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Morteza Sarmadi told Sputnik on Wednesday.
“We condemn the GCC’s statement on recognizing Hezbollah a terrorist
organization,” Sarmadi said.
He said terrorist organizations in the area are known to everyone, but
Hezbollah is a party that contradicts Israel’s policies.
“Recognizing it as a terrorist organization is part of the plot against the
resistance and serves Israel’s purposes,” Sarmadi said.
Earlier on Wednesday, GCC designated the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group a
terrorist organization.
“The GCC decided to consider the Hezbollah militia, with all its leaders,
its factions and organizations affiliated and emanating from it, a terrorist
organization,” the GCC said in a statement.
Aside from the GCC, Hezbollah Shia Muslim movement is, partially or
entirely, considered a terrorist organization by a number of countries
including the United States, Israel and the European Union.
