'A grave sin': Hezbollah dismisses Lebanon's move to restrict arms
Hezbollah dismisses Lebanon's arms control plans as a 'grave sin', refusing to give up its arsenal despite international pressure and the Lebanese government's decision to task the army with establishing a state monopoly on arms. The Iranian-backed group's comments come amid US pressure for disarmament, with Hezbollah regarding the decision as a result of American influence. Despite willingness for dialogue on national security strategy, Hezbollah argues against discussing disarmament while Israeli attacks continue, accusing Israel of breaching ceasefire terms.
