MNA � An Iranian lawmaker says that Germany is a weak country regarding politics and cannot stand against the United States� pressures.

�Although Germany is the most powerful country in the EU regarding the economy, as far as politics is concerned, it is a weak country that cannot stand against US pressures,� Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, told IRNA on Sunday.

The remarks come as Berlin has recently designated Lebanon�s Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, banning all of its activities in the country and ordering raids on sites police say are linked to the group.

�It is a great surprise that Germany, with its position in Europe, is not still aware that Hezbollah is part of Lebanon�s sovereignty and is present in the country�s government and parliament,� he said, noting that the Berlin decision is like others designating part of the German government as a terrorist entity.

This is a violation of Lebanon�s sovereignty, said the MP, adding, �this is by no means acceptable and the German government should apologize the Lebanese people and government for this offense.�

This designation, he continued, has no effect on Hezbollah's activity but will destroy Germany�s face in the public opinion of Lebanon and the Islamic Ummah.

Boroujerdi also hoped that Berlin would soon reconsider its decision.
