Reported by Iran's media, particularly Press TV, and an increasing number of US media, the Obama Administration removed the Iranian regime and Terror group Hezbollah from what is called "US national security threats" of 2015. The list, established by the director of national intelligence, identifies the various threats facing the United States. This year the director of the national intelligence M. James Clapper scrapped Iran's regime and Hezbollah from the list. The report praises Iran and Hezbollah's roles in fighting ISIL, as reported by Press TV.

On March 14, 2005, a million and a half million Lebanese from all areas, communities, ages and political affiliations responded to a pro-Assad demonstration launched one week earlier by a Hezbollah gathering of more than 200,000 participants.
