fighting in Lebanon with the blessing of Syria and Iran; 
and 
Whereas Hizballah and its Lebanese political allies continue 
to pursue an agenda favoring foreign interests over the 
will of the majority of Lebanese as expressed in a legiti-

death in their family, or among their loved ones, as 
a consequence of Hizballah’s unjustifiable insurrec-

(4) condemns— 
(A) Hizballah’s illegitimate assault on the 
sovereign Government of Lebanon, which has 
led to the worst sectarian warfare in that coun-
try since the civil war from 1975 to 1990;

prohibit all air traffic between Iran and 
Lebanon and between Iran and Syria; 
(C) every country controlling possible tran-
sit routes from Iran to Lebanon to impose the

Iranian vehicles, airplanes, and goods to ensure 
that Iran is not exploiting its land and airspace
