US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton on Monday accused Syria and Iran of purposely violating an internationally-imposed arms embargo on Hizb'allah in an effort to destabilize Lebanon's government.

The UN mandated a full arms embargo on Hizb'allah in the wake of the terror group's summer war with Israel.

Hizb'allah's primary sponsors are Syria and Iran, which supplied the bulk of the 4,000 missiles the Shi'ite militia rained down on northern Israel in July and August.
