Senior Iraqi lawmakers have rejected a decision by the Persian Gulf Arab states to designate the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. They have warned that the decision will further destabilize the region. In an exclusive interview with Press TV’s Altaf Ahmad, the Head of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units says the Persian Gulf Arab states’ move is a response to recent Iraqi and Syrian army gains in anti-terror battles.
