The U.S. ambassador to the UN told the Security Council that “Iran continues to arm Hizbollah in blatant violation of Resolutions 1701 and 1559, most notably the arms embargo that this Council reaffirmed less than two months ago. Month after month, some here today turn a blind eye as Iran channels sophisticated weapons and money into Lebanon, ensuring there can never be peace”. She went on to argue that “this Council must do more to address both the incomplete implementation of Resolutions 1559 and 1701, and Hizbollah’s illicit activities”.
