TEHRAN, Mar. 04 (MNA) – Iran’s FM Spokesman condemned the decision by [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council to blacklist Hezbollah of Lebanon.

Hossein Jaberi Ansari asserted that Hezbollah, in contrast, is the symbol of resistance and fight against occupation and racism and “represents Muslim world’s struggle to achieve independence and fight against terrorism and oppression.”

“Some Arab countries differences with Lebanese movement of resistance cannot justify their actions to cooperate with Israeli regime in labeling Hezbollah as terrorist group,” Jaberi Ansari reiterated.

He regretted “those certain countries who put pressure on other countries to issue such an statement are knowingly or unknowingly working against the interests of Islamic countries,”
