United Arab Emirates security authorities have dismantled a terrorist network funded and operated by Lebanon's Hezbollah and its backer Iran, arresting its members, the state news agency (WAM) said on Friday.
It said the network, which had been operating under a fictitious commercial cover, was involved in "money laundering, financing terrorism and threatening national security,” and sought to undermine financial stability.
Lebanon's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it described as a terrorist plot against the UAE, denounced Hezbollah's alleged involvement, and offered cooperation by Lebanese authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
In a post on X, it also reiterated a Lebanese government decision issued earlier this month banning Hezbollah's military and security activities.
