UN's Annan Urges Iran to Cooperate in Lebanon
(AP/ABC News) Edith Lederer - Secretary-General Kofi Annan has urged Iran as well as Syria to cooperate in trying to disarm Lebanese militias that still control parts of the country, the first time the UN chief has issued a report linking Tehran to instability in Lebanon. The secretary-general noted the "close ties, with frequent contacts and regular communication," that Hizballah has with Syria and Iran. U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Wednesday that Annan's remarks showed "that Iran's financing terrorist groups in Lebanon and Syria has a significant impact on what happens in those two countries."
