The Honduran government has formally declared
Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah a terrorist organization, the country's
deputy security minister said on Monday.
Honduras follows Guatemala which said it was set to
designate Hezbollah as a terrorist group as well last week.
Hezbollah, a heavily armed group designated as a
terrorist organization by the United States, was established in 1982 by Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and is an important part of a regional
Tehran-led alliance known as “the axis of resistance.”
