Newly-appointed Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammed Fathali held talks on Wednesday with Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil at the Bustros Palace soon after he landed in Beirut.

Fathali presented to Bassil his credentials, who will in turn hand them over to the President.

“At the beginning of my tenure in Lebanon I carry with me a strong and good message from Iranian officials,” the diplomat said.

Fathali arrived in Lebanon on Wednesday morning.

He considered that Lebanon has a “significant role in the region.”

The ambassador expressed hope that the Lebanese-Iranian ties would witness further development.

Fathali thanked former ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi for exerting serious efforts during his term to fortify the Lebanese-Iranian relations.

Big welcome to the new "governor of the Iranian Province of Lebanon".

As much as Iran is out of the question, Israel is definitely worst! Geagea and Aoun have no role to play in our future !

The only way for Israel to make peace is to solve the palestinian problem and take back the 500,000 or so palestinians in Lebanon it kicked out of their homes !

Let's face it, with your booming industry, what better workforce ?

@Southern : how do you expect an extremist to eradicate other extremists ?

It's all Iran vs Saudi. If you want to eradicate extremism and you are actually serious about this, then you need to reject both ! Otherwise, you're just a HYPOCRITE !

Another circus unfolding. Iranians have no place in this country- they are a cancer and the scum of the earth.

Yes yes I see it now. Everything will be fine. May be Iran can land a hand to the Israelis fixing the roads alongside the boarders.
