Shamkhani reacts to German ban against Lebanon’s Hezbollah

In his twitter account on Sat., Shamkhani wrote, “Sellers of chemical weapons to Saddam have become human rights defenders, fearing of their child-killing friend, called #Hezbollah, terrorist.”

He added,"#ISIS did not reach Europe because it was stuck behind the walls of #Resistance. The mask fell down the face of terrorism supporters.”

Germany announced Thursday it has designated the Lebanese militant and political group Hezbollah a terror organization, banning all of its activities in the country and ordering raids on sites police say are linked to the group.

The police early Thursday raided properties belonging to associations linked to Hezbollah in five German cities including Berlin and Dortmund, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. Hezbollah’s military arm has long been banned in Germany, though the group had been allowed to pursue political and social activities.
