LONDON, August 1 (IranMania) - One of the most senior figures in Iran's Islamic regime, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, on Tuesday openly called on Muslim countries to give weapons to Lebanon's Hezbollah, the ISNA news agency reported.
"Muslim countries are expected not to deny Hezbollah and the Lebanese any kind of help, especially weapons, medicine and food," said Jannati, who heads the Guardian Council, a powerful political watchdog in Iran.
"I request Muslims to give Hezbollah political and financial help as well as publicity, as this is a religious duty," he was quoted as saying.
The comments mark a break with Iran's usual position, which emphasises "moral support" only for the Shiite movement. The Islamic republic regularly denies Israeli and Western allegations that it finances and arms the movement, AFP noted.
