Top Iranian Security Official in Beirut Monday to Tackle Syrian Crisis
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili is scheduled to visit Lebanon on Monday where he is expected to meet with a number of senior officials, various media reports said on Sunday.
The pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat stated that the talks will focus on the developments in Syria, with some sources describing his meetings as “crisis talks” given the escalation of events in the neighboring country.
Jalili is set to hold talks with President Michel Suleiman, Speaker Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Najib Miqati, and Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour on the latest local and regional developments during his “short trip to Lebanon,” said the daily.
Sources did not confirm or deny to Asharq al-Awsat whether the Iranian official will hold talks with Hizbullah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
The daily An Nahar reported Sunday that he is scheduled to attend an Iranian Embassy iftar on the occasion of Quds Day, which falls on Monday.
