Britain said Monday it would seek to make membership of the Shiite movement or inviting support for it a crime. “Iran considers Hezbollah a legitimate and legal force which plays an effective and undeniable role in helping its country’s political stability and safeguarding its security,” the foreign ministry said on its website.“[It] considers the decision to place Hezbollah on a terrorism blacklist to be wrong and irresponsible and one which will not contribute to the stability and security of Lebanon.”It is also a major force in the country’s politics, holding three cabinet posts.
