Arrival of the chief of the Iranian diplomacy in Lebanon
BEIRUT - the Iranian Minister for the Foreign Affairs, Manouchehr Mottaki, arrived Monday evening at Lebanon via Syria, indicated the national Agency of information (ANI).
Mr. Mottaki arrived by the road via the border libano-Syrian woman of Abboudiyé (Lebanon northern), the direct road Damas-Beirut being closed de facto because of the Israeli bombardments.
During his stay, Mr. Mottaki must meet Lebanese president Emile Lahoud, the Prime Minister Fouad Siniora and the chief of the Parliament Nabih Berri, according to a Lebanese official source.
From Damas, Mr. Mottaki indicated that it went to Lebanon "to express sadness and regret in front of this heinous crime perpetrated by the entity Zionist in Cana".
The Israeli bombardment Sunday of the village of Cana, in the south of Lebanon, made at least 52 deaths civil, including 30 children, and caused sharp judgments throughout the world.
The United States and Israel show Iran to support and provide weapons to Hezbollah Lebanese engaged in a fatal conflict with the Israeli army since July 12.
In Damas, Mr. Mottaki had met his Syrian counterpart Walid Mouallem.
Teheran and Damas are the principal regional allies of Hezbollah Shiite.
MAN that is one person I would not want to be standing beside right now.
