Iraqigi's Beirut aide discusses Shiite concerns
The article discussed Iran's efforts to reaffirm its presence in the Lebanese political scene through diplomatic contacts with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, following a period of tension after the withdrawal of the credentials of the former Iranian ambassador. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian emphasized the need to support diplomatic solutions to regional crises and informed Aoun of Iran’s supportive stance regarding the memorandum of understanding with the United States, while placing responsibility on Washington for failing to implement its provisions, particularly those related to halting wars in Lebanon and Syria. Furthermore, statements by Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri indicated a more hardline attitude, saying that negotiations with the U.S. are futile, and asserting that Israel is exploiting negotiations to increase its dominance over the region. He added that resistance will remain necessary as long as Israeli occupation persists in southern Lebanon. Iran’s positions in Beirut remained steadfast, emphasizing the importance of preparing for the worst in facing American threats. The majority of Lebanese citizens strongly rejected the “Framework Agreement” with Washington and opposed interventions that contribute to escalating tensions between Lebanon and Iran.
