US is mad because Hezbollah resists against its plots for region, Iran says
Tehran (KNA) -,Iran has rejected as “provocative, meddlesome, and undiplomatic” the latest remarks made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo against the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
In a statement on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi pointed to Pompeo's comments against Hezbollah, and lashed out at him for making such "rude and unwise" remarks and raising "baseless, false, hackneyed, and futile" claims and accusations against a major political and legal part of Lebanon while he was visiting the Arab country.
In his recent trip to Beirut, Pompeo expressed concern over the role of Hezbollah in the Arab country, saying that the Lebanese nation must pick a side.
"Lebanon and the Lebanese people face a choice: bravely move forward as an independent and proud nation or allow the dark ambitions of Iran and Hezbollah to dictate your future," he said during a joint news conference with his Lebanese counterpart Gebran Bassil on Friday.
