Iran: GCC Made a 'Mistake' Labeling Hizbullah as Terrorist
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Iran's deputy foreign minister said on Thursday that a decision by the Saudi-led bloc of Gulf states to label Hizbullah a terrorist organization is a "mistake."
Iranian state TV quoted Hossein Amir Abdollahian as saying the Gulf Cooperation Council's move was a "new mistake" that would undermine peace in the region and the unity of Lebanon.
He said Iran was "proud" of Hizbullah "as the vanguard of resistance against the Zionist regime and the champion of the fight against terrorism in the region."
"Those who call Hizbullah terrorists, have intentionally or unintentionally harmed the unity and security of Lebanon."
On Wednesday, a statement from GCC Secretary-General Abdullatif al-Zayani said the bloc decided to implement the terrorist designation because of hostile acts by Iran-backed Hizbullah within its member states.
The decision reflects rising tensions between Sunni-ruled Saudi Arabia and Shiite powerhouse Iran, Hizbullah's patron.
The GCC ruling brings Gulf states in line with the U.S., which also considers Hizbullah a terrorist group.

you cannot talk about the army while keeping it weak for you interests... stop your hypocrisy! if you really wanted the lebanese army to be strong you would OBEY it and give them hezbi weapons and expertise... but rather you pledged allegiance to iran never to Lebanon....
go and spread your BS elsewhere....

There is already no need for Saudis, they pulled out themselves, the influence they could've had is severed off now.

"Sanctions"? What "sanctions"? Do you even bloody know what the term "sanctions" means? The Saudis gave a GRANT to the Lebanese Army - they were not obliged in any way to spend their own money on the Lebanese Army.
Imagine if I give your family a gift. Then you, as a member of your family, stab me in the back. After that, why the hell would I want to give you any gifts? Now do you get it you traitor?

GCC is a failure in general, their oil prices are at an all time low.
They think they harm Iran and Russia that way, but Iran and Russia have other ways of making money.
Saudis only have their oil reserves to put their whole economical stability behind, they have no agriculture or anything else to sell.

GCC a failure? pityful braindead hezbi.... have you ever been to a GCC country? seems not... wish the same economical development to Lebanon then come and talk about failure....
but sure, you prefer Lebanon to be a third world country so that hezbis can do whatever pleases them... if you truly cared abot Lebanon your party would propose econmic solutions to improve Lebanon rather than destroying it with their wars.... tfeh on you.

Lebanon is weak because hezbollah keeps it weak! has hezbollah ever done something to improve the economy? NEVER... hezbollah drags Lebanon into wars it is all they do...
Lebanon has everything to make it a rich economy but it does not please neither hezbollah nor israel... both are happy to maintain Lebanon weak!
hezbollah to control it, and israel so they have no economic competition in the region!
hezbollah cannot allow Lebanon to be rich and developped! it would mean their disappearance... so both israel and hezboolah work hand in hand to make sure Lebanon runs into chaos.... with your full support

it avoids you from answering questions as you have not been trained to think by yourself, pityful braindead hezbi sheep.

Don't believe it! My family is Shiite and my dad's medical clinic in Ghobayreh was reduced to rubble in July 2006. Hizb promised reparations that were supposed to come from the Iranian pocket. Ten years down the line and we have not received a single cent. The only Shia population that received any aid were those directly subservient to Hizb. All the rest of the Shia they just urinated upon. Hizb has always used the Shia sect as a Human shield. It was never about religion with this spit on the face of Ali who do unto others what had been done to the Hasan and Hussein. It's just about military politics and power by a bunch of hoodlums with no vision of the future except death and destruction.

Its very simple. Politics and religion suffer the same fate constantly. History repeats itself in many shapes. 3 things will happen in Lebanon.
1)Sunni countries will make peace with Israel, making the Shia very weak in the region limiting Hizbuallah, gaining USA and European support and Lebanon will eventually make peace.
2) Christians will finally realize the power they have, as international support will poor in once they state they want control. USA and Europe will interfere, Donald Trump will make peace with Russia, Syria will be rid of ISIS and Bashar, Sunni and Shia will lose power in Lebanon and be forced to cooperate.
3) Lebanon will split into Shia/Sunni states, Christians and Druze will be screwed, and Muslim war will rage.
