Abadi: Lebanon Will Not Witness Security Unrest
Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Ghazanfar Rokn Abadi stressed that the Islamic republic enjoys good ties with all Lebanese factions, including the Mustaqbal movement.
He told Ad Diyar daily in remarks published on Sunday: “Some positions and statements don’t serve the historic ties between Lebanon and Iran, which we should bolster in all fields.”
“Lebanon is enjoying a period of stability and I don’t expect it to witness any security unrest,” he added.
“I don’t believe that Israel wants to wage another war against Lebanon and if it does, it will be defeated,” he stressed.
Addressing Lebanese-Iranian ties, Abadi said that Iran is eager to help Lebanon in drilling for offshore oil.
“Iran still respects its vow to help Lebanon set up electricity projects,” he continued.
Commenting on the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the ambassador said: “We oppose the politicization of justice.”
On the situation in Syria, he remarked: “Iran and Turkey are in agreement that Syria’s stability should be maintained.”
“Iran stands by the people in their demands for reform. We pride ourselves in supporting Syria, which is allied with the Resistance against Israel,” Abadi stressed.
