US Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale on Thursday said that his country will continue to counter Tehran’s support for Hezbollah, despite the agreement signed over the weekend on Iran’s nuclear program, Lebanese media reported.
“As we proceed with negotiations about Iran’s nuclear program, the United States will not ignore Iran’s destabilizing actions in the region,” Hale said following a meeting with Lebanese Caretaker Premier Najib Mikati.
“We will continue to counter Iran’s terrorist activities, and those of its proxies, including Hezbollah,” a statement issued by the US embassy quoted Hale as saying.
His remarks come just days after Iran agreed to an interim deal with the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and Germany. Based on to the deal teh Iranian regime accepts to limit portions of its nuclear program in exchange for targeted relief from some international sanctions.
