Hezbollah, Hamas able to purchase all weapons in Ukraine with ease — Iranian FM

Lebanon-based Shiite organization Hezbollah and Gaza-based radical Palestinian movement Hamas can easily procure whatever weapons they need in Ukraine via illicit purchases, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian said.

"You see, in the past - I wish to be absolutely frank with you - we used to provide all kinds of support to Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad while taking into account [both] international law and the conditions of confronting the occupier ," Abdollahian said at the Doha Forum, when answering a question about Tehran's support for these organizations.

"If you ask me where they can obtain weapons, then one of the black markets where they can get them is Ukraine. Very easily, without much effort they can get whatever [they need] in Ukraine," the top diplomat said. According to him, Hezbollah and Hamas currently "can produce the necessary weapons" on their own.
