Beirut: Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bakri Kani arrived in Lebanon on Monday on his first official diplomatic visit since the death of his predecessor Hussein Amir Abdollahia in a helicopter crash. Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA reported that Bakri will travel to Lebanon and then to Syria, where he will meet officials from both countries to discuss resistance against Israel. Iran supports several armed groups in the region, including Shiite militant group Hezbollah, considered the most powerful.
It is noteworthy that on May 19, Bakri’s predecessor Hussein Amir Abdullahian died in a helicopter crash near the Azerbaijan border with Iran. Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi was also killed in this accident. Bakri met Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Abdullah Abu Habib on Monday and praised the “close relations” between the two countries. He told reporters that “resistance (against Israel) is the basis of stability in the region.
We agreed that all countries in the region, especially Islamic countries, should launch a joint operation to confront the Israeli aggression and to protect the Palestinian people, especially in Rafah.” Habib said Lebanon, for its part, wanted to avoid a full-blown war and was seeking “concrete solutions to restore peace and stability in south Lebanon.”
