US president condemned over stand on Hezbollah

By: Sheikh M Khurasani

TEHRAN, Iran: American president-elect Barack Obama's criticism of Lebanese Hezbollah has been slammed by a top Iranian cleric on Friday. The cleric defended the Islamic republic's support of the group.

"We are announcing it frankly, that we will defend the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance and its brave leader Hassan Nasrallah with pride," the Friday prayers leader at Tehran University, Ahmad Khatami, told worshippers.

"They are not terrorists since they are defending their honour and independence," he said.

"If Obama wants to decrease hatred, he has to stop making worthless comments. Most probably the Zionists have put down a banana skin for him."

In an interview broadcast on Sunday, Obama said he would make clear to Tehran that its nuclear programme was "unacceptable," along with support of Hezbollah and the Palestinian group Hamas, and its "threats against Israel."
