Nasrallah, Velayati Discuss Ways to Confront Latest Developments
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has discussed with the adviser of Iran's supreme leader the latest security and political developments, Hizbullah announced on Tuesday.
Nasrallah likely met on Monday with Ali Akbar Velayati, who was in Beirut on a one-day official visit.
The Hizbullah statement said Nasrallah and the Iranian official “discussed the situation in the region and the latest political and security developments, and ways to confront them.”
The meeting was attended by the delegation accompanying Velayati and Iran's Ambassador Mohammed Fathali, it added.
Velayati also met on Monday with Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Tammam Salam and Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun.
The Iranian official's trip to Beirut came two days after Nasrallah said jihadists from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State group have been pushed out of large areas of Syria's Qalamoun region.
Qalamoun is a mountain range along the border with Lebanon where Syrian troops backed by Hizbullah are fighting the militants.
