Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said he spoke with his Iranian counterpart to officially end ties between the two countries. Bourita said Morocco has obtained proof that the Lebanese Hezbollah, backed by Iran, provided weapons and training to Polisario fighters through the Iranian embassy in Algeria. Iran and Hezbollah trained and fought different battles across the Middle East, from Lebanon, Iraq, Gaza, Bahrain, Yemen and Syria. Iran on Wednesday denied that it was involved in delivering weapons to the Polisario Front movement. “The Moroccan Foreign Ministry should have sought a more convincing pretext to cut ties with Iran," it said in a statement.
