MNA � Iraq has, again, showed reluctance to share the Arab League�s condemnation of what the organization describes as �Iranian interventions� in regional states� affairs, and also refused to recognize Lebanese Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.


Iraq�s representative to the Arab Parliament, an Arab League body, voiced his reservation on a draft resolution to that end which condemned �Iranian interventions� in regional countries, while refusing to brand Lebanese hezbollah as a terrorist group, reported Iraqi News.

An opening speech by the council�s chairman, Meshaal bin Fahm al-Salami, accused Iran of �stoking sectarian conflicts in the region� and �arming and financing militants and terrorist groups at Arab countries� including in Yemen and Bahrain.

Iraq had taken a similar stance in November, when the Arab League adopted a resolution condemning Iran for the same accusations and categorizing Hezbollah as a terrorist entity.

Arab League is widely under the influence of Iran's regional rival Saudi Arabia.
