Iran condemns US calls for disarming Hezbollah
The Iranian foreign ministry on Monday condemned Washington’s calls for disarming Hezbollah in Lebanon, noting that “this decision is a domestic affair that no side has the right to interfere in.”
“The issue of arms and defense is a domestic affair for any country and any third party should not be involved in it, especially if it is party to the conflict,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said.
“America is not in a position that allows it to impose its stances on the Lebanese parties and this decision must be taken by all Lebanese components,” Baghaei added.
“The right to resistance is part of the legitimate defense right and it is acknowledged by international law as an indispensable right, especially in our region which is facing an entity such as the Zionist entity,” the spokesman went on to say, adding that “it is not possible to speak of disarmament in the face of such an entity.”

And since we already decided to disarm Hezbollah, Iran should respect our domestic decision and not presume to speak-out against entities that express a reinforcing opinion in support of Lebanon's domestic policy and Lebanese overwhelming preference.
I Iran wants to have Hezbollah armed, let it do that on its soil; there is no room for that in Lebanon's future.
Just respect the President. Elected, by the will of the Lebanese people. We live in freedom and peace with our neighbors. Iran might give all that a try .. internationally speaking of course; its domestic affairs are none of our business.
