Larijani delivers Leader’s message in visits to Lebanon, Syria

Ali Larijani, a senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khamenei, pledged Iran’s support for the Resistance while delivering the Leader’s message to officials in Syria and Lebanon. “I am here to loudly say that Iran will stand by Lebanon’s government and the Lebanese people,” Larijani told reporters in the Lebanese capital Beirut after separate meetings with parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati. The former speaker of the Iranian parliament also said he had delivered a message from Ayatollah Khamenei to senior Lebanese officials but did not disclose the content of the message.

The senior adviser to Iran’s Leader asserted that Iran considers it to be its responsibility to support the Lebanese people and their demands, and hopes that the country’s conditions be ameliorated as soon as possible. Furthermore, the senior official expressed hope that the Lebanese people who have been displaced amid incessant Israeli attacks would be able to return to their places of residence soon.
While Larijani’s diplomatic meetings were ongoing, the Israeli regime launched renewed aerial attacks on Lebanon. The regime’s warplanes also flew at low altitude over Beirut while Larijani was in the city, trying to create trepidation in the Lebanese capital.
