WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush warned Iran, Syria and Hezbollah on Monday over recent violence in Lebanon and claimed they are working to destabilize Lebanon.

    "While Lebanon's friends seek to help the Lebanese government build a free, sovereign, and prosperous country, Syria, Iran and Hezbollah are working to destabilize Lebanese society," Bush said in a statement.

    Bush said they foment violence in order to prevent the establishment of a Special Tribunal in response to former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri's assassination, to prevent full implementation of UN Security Council calling for Hezbollah's disarmament, and to try to bring down Lebanon's government.

    "All those who seek a peaceful, constitutional solution to the crisis in Lebanon deserve the support of the international community, but those responsible for creating chaos must be called to account," Bush said.

    The situation in Lebanon has been deteriorating for days as clashes broke out between Lebanese anti- and pro-government supporters. The conflicts have left at least three killed and more than 130 others wounded.
