U.S. Calls for Hezbollah Disarmament, Labels Group a Terrorist Organization
The United States Department of State has reiterated that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization and must be fully disarmed, according to remarks cited by Al Arabiya.
A State Department official said Washington maintains its long-standing position that Hezbollah poses a significant threat to regional stability, particularly in Lebanon and across the broader Middle East.
The United States has designated Hezbollah as a foreign terrorist organization for decades, accusing it of carrying out attacks, destabilizing governments, and acting as a proxy for Iran.
U.S. officials say disarming the group remains a key objective in efforts to reduce tensions and prevent further escalation in the region. However, Hezbollah continues to operate as both a political and armed force within Lebanon, making disarmament a complex and highly sensitive issue.
The latest comments come amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing concerns about security dynamics involving Israel, Iran, and allied groups.
