إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil is planning to visit Tehran later in the week as the new leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, several local newspapers reported on Tuesday.
The dailies said the visit of Bassil, who took over the FPM leadership from his father-in-law MP Michel Aoun last month, would come ahead of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's trip to Paris to meet with his French counterpart Francois Hollande.
According to the reports, Bassil's meetings with Iranian officials would tackle bilateral relations and the developments in the region.
The talks between the Iranian and French leaders are also expected to tackle the presidential deadlock in Lebanon.
But Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammed Fathali said on Monday that the presidential crisis is a local issue.
“We hope to see a strong president in Lebanon,” he added.
Baabda Palace has been vacant since President Michel Suleiman's six-year term ended in May last year.

He needs to submit his credentials to the ayatollah and get his blessings. This is how you protect and fight for Christian rights.

@ex-fpm, how exactly is iran an enemy? did they ever bomb Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, or Bahrain? Ever harm us the Shiaas in any way? your propaganda only echoes Saudi Arabia's wishes: to see us the shiaas turn our backs on our friends masters, and leaders, those who helped us kick out the Sunni occupiers in Syria and regain our shiaa sovereignty.
and @ex-fpm: that's your opinion, but your opinion is irrelevant here. Iran is in our homes and in our hearts, and you'll just have to live with it it.

Selfishness, greed, distrust,dishonest and disloyal are the characteristic of the Lebanese politicians; however I do believe that this behaviour is a logical product of the Lebanese political system .The feudal and tribe mentality is guaranteed and protected by the constitution, which is unfortunately considered as holy. The vicious circle that we are witnessing these days is not new . The biggest shame for a country is when its leaders ask and accept support from foreign countries to interfere in their local domestic affairs. The irony here that these leaders are proud not only to be advised but also commanded by foreigners...and the real victims are the ordinary Lebanese people. Sad, sad.sad.

The only difference between a human being and an animal is the capacity of thinking. This capacity is no longer available in the Caporal's followers.

The president should be Shia,, like the majority of thd lebanese who were robbed by taef on behalf of ths Maronites. A strong president is a Shia president reflecting his people.

Just remember Einstein's comment:
"There is a major difference between intelligence and stupidity. Intelligence has its limits".
