US backs Israel’s right to defend itself against Hezbollah and Iran
The United States told the UN Security Council it strongly condemns attacks by Hezbollah against Israel and supports Israel’s right to defend itself.
US Ambassador Michael Waltz described Hezbollah as a proxy of Iran that does not represent the interests of the Lebanese people and referred to Iran as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
He welcomed the Lebanese government’s March 2 decision to ban Hezbollah’s military activities and urged Lebanese authorities to fully implement the decision and reassert state authority across the country.
