VOA: Hezbollah Chief: Iran's Support to Continue After Nuclear Deal
The Lebanese Shi'ite group Hezbollah says it can still count on support from Iran, even after Tehran signed a nuclear deal with six global powers.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah told supporters Saturday that "Iran's relationship with its allies is based on ideological grounds and come before the political interests."
Iran has been the chief backer and arms supplier to Hezbollah, which the United States regards as a terrorist group for threatening the West and calling for the destruction of Israel.
Hezbollah fighters are also in Syria supporting the military of President Bashar al-Assad.
WNU Editor: It looks like the Hezbollah leader has some in his circle who are concerned/worried that Iran may be preparing to shift its foreign policy. I guess we in the West are not the only ones who are wondering on what exactly is in those side deals that both Iran and the West are reluctant to disclose.
