‘Iran, Lebanon Support Diplomatic Settlement of Crisis in Syria’
A senior Iranian official says that Iran and Lebanon have common views about the importance of solving the nearly six-year crisis in Syria only through diplomatic approaches.
The Iranian Parliament speaker’s special advisor on international affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, made the comment while speaking to reporters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Monday following a meeting with the country’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, according to Press TV.
“We believe that a political solution is the only way to solve the crisis in Syria,” he said.
He added that Iran and Lebanon would never spare any effort to help Syria fight terrorism.
Amir-Abdollahian said political approaches can also solve the existing crises in Yemen and Bahrain.
The Iranian official expressed hope that all crises in the region would be settled through diplomacy, national dialogue and a serious fight against terrorism.
He noted that he had exchanged views with the Lebanese Parliament speaker about the latest developments in the Middle East, particularly the Palestinian, Yemeni and Syrian issues.
Heading a delegation, Amir-Abdollahian arrived in Beirut on Monday to hold talks with the Lebanese officials on leading regional and international issues.
