Political Deputy Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament Ali Hassan Khalil met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in Tehran on Sunday.
The Iranian chairman said that Iran sees no difference between Lebanon’s Shiite and Sunni communities, stressing that “we consider the enemies of the Islamic world to be our enemies.”
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always supported national decisions in Lebanon and attaches great importance to maintaining internal peace,” Ghalibaf added.
He stressed that the Zionist regime has not responded to the ceasefire, saying, “The Zionist regime will continue its crimes and expansionism every chance it gets. There is a formal ceasefire in the region, but according to reports, 300 people have been martyred in Lebanon since the ceasefire.”
Prior to this, the Deputy Political Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament held separate talks with Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, and Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi.
The Lebanese vice-chairman met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi earlier in the day.
