Beirut - The Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah said on Friday it prides itself on being on the United States' terrorist list.

'The US administration has no right to give statements on nationalism and terrorism when it is making the peoples of the world, including the American people, pay the price for its wars and bloody policies,' said a statement by Hezbollah.

Hezbollah's remarks came in response to the report released earlier this week by the US State Department which accused Iran of providing aid to Palestinian 'terrorist' groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, 'Iraq-based militants,' and Taliban fighters in Afghanistan.

The statement criticized Washington for its Lebanon policy and accused the US of 'provoking its allies in Lebanon against fellow citizens who support the resistance and the opposition.'

Hezbollah slammed the US as the biggest threat to international peace and stability.
