The Islamic Republic of Iran must rein in its terrorist proxies in Lebanon, U.S. President Donald Trump insisted on Sunday, without naming Hezbollah.
“Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don’t, we’ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder,” U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
The Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization is a “malignant cancer,” U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said earlier on Sunday, noting that the Shi’ite group had killed hundreds of Americans.
“The U.S. designates Hezbollah as a terror organization,” Huckabee wrote on X, calling the Iranian proxy a “common enemy of Lebanon & Israel.”
“They occupy civilian homes in Lebanon to store weapons & fire drones & rockets into civilian targets in Israel. Evil,” the envoy added.
Huckabee was sharing a post by Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the United States, detailing the network of terrorist tunnels dug by Hezbollah in Lebanon’s Beaufort Ridge area.
