Germany\u2019s total ban on Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah terrorist organization drew a swift response Friday from Iran, with the Islamic republic saying \u201cconsequences\u201d would follow.<\/p>\n

As Breitbart News reported<\/a>, Hezbollah was labeled a \u201cShiite terrorist organisation\u201d with dozens of police and special forces storming mosques and associations across Germany linked to the terror group.<\/p>\n

German political support followed swiftly.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah activities \u201cviolate criminal law and the organization opposes the concept of international understanding,\u201d German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer said in announcing the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cHezbollah denies Israel\u2019s right to exist, threatens violence and terror and continues to massively upgrade its rocket arsenal,\u201d German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter. \u201cWe in Germany must exhaust the means of the rule of law to take action against the criminal and terrorist activities of Hezbollah.\u201d<\/p>\n

The German crackdown on Hezbollah means its flags are banned at all demonstrations and meetings across the country. Berlin\u2019s municipal government already bans Hezbollah symbols and flags at demonstrations.<\/p>\n

Germany, like most of Europe, has until now dragged its feet in outlawing both the military and political arms of the Lebanon-based group to protect relations with Beirut and Tehran.<\/p>\n

The U.S., UK, Netherlands and Israel designates the anti-Israel group in its entirety a terror organization.<\/p>\n
