Tehran (IP) - Special Assistant to the Speaker of Iran's Parliament for International Affairs called the recent German step in banning Lebanon's Hezbollah a "strategic mistake."

Iran Press/Iran News: Hossein Amir Abdollahian wrote on his twitter account on Thursday that Germany's measure in designating Lebanon's Hezbollah as "a terror organization" was a "strategic mistake, saying "Hezbollah is considered as an important part of the society of Lebanon, security guarantor as well as a part of Lebanon's territorial integrity."

"Hezbollah is also a part of Lebanonies government and parliament," he added.

Referring to German officials, Amir Abdollahian underlined that "following American-Zionist dirty policies will endanger Berlin regional interests."

Earlier on Thursday, in a move to gain the satisfaction of the Zionist regime and the United States, the German Interior Ministry designated Lebanon's Hezbollah group as a "terror organization" and banned its activities across the German soil.

Last year, Deputy Foreign Minister of Germany Niels Annen said in an interview with Der Spiegel that Berlin had no plan to designate Hezbollah as a terror organization.

In a move to limit Hezbollah's activities, the Zionist Regime and the United States have been pressuring European countries over the past months to designate the group as a terror organization.

In parallel, Washington has also sanctioned some Lebanonies banks and individuals over their link with Hezbollah to reduce the group's popularity in Lebanon.
