Iran denies shipping missiles to Hezbollah

"There are no (Iranian) guards there. Shipment of (Iranian) missiles to Hezbollah is also not correct," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters Sunday.

As Associated Press reports, Israel said Saturday that 100 Iranian troops from the elite Revolutionary Guards were in Lebanon, and that they helped Hezbollah fire a sophisticated radar-guided missile at an Israeli warship blockading the Lebanese coast late Friday.

Initially, it was believed that an unmanned drone laden with explosives had hit the Israeli warship, but it later became clear that Hizbullah had used what Israel described as an Iranian-made, radar-guided C-802 missile.
