Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, held a telephone conversation with his Lebanese counterpart, Abdullah Bou Habib, this Thursday afternoon to discuss the latest developments in Lebanon following the establishment of a ceasefire there.

Araghchi welcomed the agreement reached. He attributed this success to the unwavering resilience of the Lebanese people, the steadfast efforts of the resistance fighters on the ground, and the political wisdom of Nabih Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, as well as the government of Lebanon. Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s steadfast support for the government, people, army, and resistance of Lebanon.

Pointing to the Zionist regime’s history of reneging on agreements, Araghchi emphasized the need for Lebanon to remain vigilant and exercise serious caution regarding the implementation of the ceasefire.

Highlighting recent developments in Syria and the renewed activity of Takfiri terrorist groups, Araghchi described these incidents as part of a U.S.-Zionist design to destabilize the region following the failures and setbacks of the Zionist regime in the face of the resistance.
He stressed the necessity of a robust and effective response to the scourge of terrorism.

The Lebanese Foreign Minister, in turn, expressed gratitude for the call, providing a detailed account of Lebanon’s situation following the ceasefire. He also thanked the Islamic Republic of Iran for its enduring solidarity and support for Lebanon.
