Bahrains foreign minister said Sunday that Lebanon is under the "total control" of the Iran-backed Hezbollah movement, in a speech at an Arab League meeting called by Riyadh. "The Lebanese Republic, in spite of our relations with it as a brotherly Arab nation... is under the total control of this terrorist party," said Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa, referring to the powerful Iran- allied movement. "Irans biggest arm in the region at the moment is the terrorist Hezbollah arm," Sheikh Khalid charged. He called on countries such as Lebanon "where Hezbollah is a partner in government to carry their responsibility". Saudi Arabia called the meeting of foreign ministers at the Leagues headquarters in Cairo to discuss violations committed by Iran after a missile was intercepted near Riyadh in a November 4 attack claimed by Houthi coup insurgents in Yemen.
