Iran's Guards Chief Says Disarming Hizbullah 'Non-Negotiable'

Head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Ali Jafari, said that disarming Hizbullah party was “non-negotiable,” Iranian state TV said Thursday.

Jafari was also quoted as saying that Iran's Revolutionary Guards will play an active role in a lasting "ceasefire" in Syria.

He stressed that disarming Hizbullah is a “non-negotiable” matter.

Jafari rejected any talks on Iran's ballistic missile program as demanded by France and other Western powers.

"The demands of French President Emmanuel Macron to research the country's missile defense activity are because he is young and inexperienced," he said.
