Report: Iranian FM to visit Beirut this week
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian will arrive in Beirut this week on a previously unannounced visit, the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper reported.
The development comes after Abdollahian’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia and his meetings there with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan.
“Hezbollah escalated its rhetoric against the kingdom during the visit, which pushed Tehran to dispatch Abdollahian’s aide to ask Sayyed (Hassan) Nasrallah to pacify the stance towards Saudi Arabia, something that eventually took place,” the newspaper added.
