Hezbollah’s leader admitted that the Lebanese terrorist militia receives arms from Iran. Sheik Hassan Nasrallah made the admission in an interview with a Kuwaiti newspaper published over the weekend, saying “it is no secret” that Hezbollah receives Iranian arms via neighboring Syria. The militia previously has refused to discuss its ties with Tehran and Damascus. A statement by the group on its Al-Manar television station said, “Some of what was attributed to Nasrallah is inaccurate, and some of it is not true at all.”
