March 14 Hopes Iran Deal Leads to Pullout of Revolutionary Guards from Lebanon
The March 14 general-secretariat hoped on Wednesday that Iran's agreement with major powers would lead to the withdrawal of what it called Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards from Lebanon and Syria.
Following its weekly meeting, the general-secretariat welcomed the deal struck between Tehran and world powers, saying it comes in conformity with the conditions set by the international community and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Iran has agreed to curb most of its nuclear activities in exchange for some relief from economic sanctions, while leaving much of its nuclear infrastructure intact.
Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
The March 14 general-secretariat hoped that the agreement would limit the “harsh sanctions” imposed on it in parallel with a decision by Tehran to “reverse its traditional policy to hit stability in the region.”
It also hoped that the deal would lead to the “withdrawal of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards groups from Lebanon and Syria.”
The statement reiterated that Hizbullah should pull out of Syria and stop turning Lebanon into a battleground.
The Shiite party should abide by the conditions of the state and the National Pact, in addition to U.N. Security Council resolutions, the Baabda Declaration and President Michel Suleiman's Independence Day speech, it said.
Hizbullah openly acknowledges its members are fighting for President Bashar Assad, but Tehran denies its troops have been engaged directly in combat in Syria.
