(New York, NY) – Despite U.N. resolutions and international agreements demanding its disarmament, the Iranian-sponsored terror group Hezbollah has steadily grown as a military and political force in Lebanon, to the detriment of regional and international security. Hezbollah will attempt to increase its political power in the country through parliamentary elections that take place on May 6.
