Washington ( CNN ) -- The militant group Hezbollah is actively plotting with the opposition in Bahrain to overthrow the country 's ruling family , the government said in a confidential report to the United Nations . `` Evidence confirms that Bahraini elements are being trained in Hezbollah camps specifically established to train assets from the Gulf , '' the report reads . Bahrain has long made claims that Iran and Hezbollah have sought to fuel instability in the nation . In the report sent to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon , Bahrain 's government claims that Iranian-backed Hezbollah has been training opposition figures at its camps in Lebanon and Iran in an effort to destabilize the Khalifa monarchy . The report also says the militant group has trained militants for activities in neighboring Gulf countries , according to diplomats who have reviewed it . The government report urges the United Nations to curb Iran and Hezbollah 's interference in the country . Both Iran and Hezbollah have previously denied involvement in the protests . The Bahraini government has launched a violent crackdown against the protesters , and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have deployed troops to Bahrain to support the regime . The report details meetings between Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other senior officials of the group with members of Shiite organizations in Bahrain , such as Wefaq , one of the country 's major opposition parties , and the banned Haq group . In the report , Bahrain alleges that Shiite groups coordinated political strategy inside the country and used Hezbollah 's television channel , Al-Manar , to mobilize opposition protests . Abdul-Jalil Khalil , a Wefaq member of parliament , denied the claims . `` We believe the problem is a political issue and an internal issue , and we have no support from the outside , '' he said , adding that Wefaq has no formal or informal relationship with Hezbollah and does not use Al-Manar to aid the movement . `` The movement is a peaceful movement , '' according to Khalil , who said Wefaq is interested in serious political reform and not in overthrowing the ruling family . Hassan Mushaimaa , the secretary-general of Haq , has been detained and was unavailable to comment on the report . Bahrain 's ruling Khalifa family is Sunni Muslim , but about two-thirds of the country 's people are Shiite . The State Department has said it believes that Iran 's role in Bahrain has been minimal and that the protests in Bahrain were the product of home-grown frustrations of the country 's Shiites , who want greater economic and political participation . A U.S. official said Iran would `` like to meddle if it could , '' but there is `` no evidence they 've been able to do much . '' The opposition in Bahrain is huge , and the protests began without Iranian organization or involvement , the official said . Iran has contact with some in Bahrain and might give `` some advice , '' but that 's all , the official said . The Obama administration has criticized the Bahraini crackdown and called for the government to enter political dialogue with the opposition . CNN 's Jenifer Fenton and Pam Benson contributed to this report .
