Iran says Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization

Iran says the EU's decision to recognize the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization is unacceptable and made under pressure from what the Iranian officials call "the Zionist regime."

According to Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, Hezbollah is not a terrorist body, but an organization that fights against the aggressor.

The decision to recognize Hezbollah as a terrorist group was made at a recent meeting of EU foreign ministers held in Brussels. The decision has been actively supported by the UK, France and the Netherlands.
