'Iran transfers $700 million to Hezbollah annually'

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday evening discussed the Iranian threat and the relationship of the regime in Tehran with terrorist organizations threatening Israel.

"Iran transfers $700 million to Hezbollah per annum. But it does so by various methods, including fraud. In this framework, the Iranian Foreign Ministry transfers over $100 million to terrorist organizations. The money is transferred under diplomatic cover, by seemingly innocent means, to Lebanon and from there to Hezbollah,” said Netanyahu at the official Jerusalem Day ceremony at Ammunition Hill in Jerusalem.
