Iranian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Ali Bagheri on Wednesday pointed to an "embargo exercised by the enemies of the region against Iran and Lebanon," saying, however, that he trusted Lebanon and its resistance in fighting these acts.
Bagheri, who is also Iran's chief negotiator in international talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, arrived in Beirut this week to participate in the opening ceremony for the Iranian embassy new building in Beirut. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and Iran's ambassador to Beirut Mojtaba Amani attended the event.
