Hezbollah Is Resistant Rather Than Terrorist Group: Iranian Ambassador

The ambassador made the remark at a news conference held before Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi's visit to Beirut on Saturday, the official NNA news agency reported.

Kharazi, who is scheduled to meet Hezbollah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, also stressed on Wednesday that "one should not place Hezbollah on the same level as those who have committed such attacks as the ones on the United States" while meeting a visiting European Union delegation in Iran.

The Iranian foreign minister will also visit Syria and Egypt to have consultation with officials of these countries on the sensitive situations engulfing the region.

Sobhani said that Iran and Lebanon "share a common view on various issues, especially those in combating terrorism."

He urged the United Nations, the legitimate international organization, to embark on combating global terrorism.

Iran has reportedly provided missiles and Katyushas rockets to Hezbollah, which are deployed along the Israeli-Lebanese border.

Iran-backed Hezbollah spearheaded resistance against Israel and forced the withdrawal of Israeli troops from south Lebanon in May 2000 after 22 years of occupation.

The group vows to continue fight against Israel as long as it occupies the Shebaa Farms occupied by Israel in the 1967 Mideast War.
