Ambassador: Iranian FM’s trip to Lebanon 'brave and powerful move'
Ambassador of Islamic Republic of Iran in Lebanon Mojtaba Amani says Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's trip to Lebanon was “a brave and powerful trip.”
Araghchi's trip to Lebanon will have “important regional consequences,” the ambassador wrote on the social media platform X on Friday.
“Iran has always shown that it will stand by Lebanon in difficult situations,” he added.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran will never allow the fate of the region to be changed by America and the illegal Zionist entity,” Amani stated.
“The future will be decided by the countries of the region under the leadership of the resistance front,” he added.

Araghchi made an unannounced visit to the Lebanese capital Beirut on Friday.
“Just landed at Beirut Int'l Airport. Our delegation led by FM Araghchi and accompanied by two members of Parliament and Head of Iran's Red Crescent Society will meet with Lebanese high-level officials shortly,” said the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baghaei.
He added that a package of 10 tons of foodstuff and medicine will also be delivered as part of Iran’s humanitarian assistance to Lebanon.
The Iranian diplomat further reiterated the Islamic Republic’s solidarity with the brave Lebanese nation.
Araghchi held talks with Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, and reaffirmed his country’s unwavering support for the Lebanese government, nation and resistance front in the face of the atrocities of the Israeli regime.
During the meeting, Araghchi extended the sincere condolences of the Iranian government and nation on the martyrdom of Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and other innocent Lebanese nationals as a result of the terrorist and brutal Israeli attacks and restated Tehran’s unflinching support for Lebanon in the struggle against the Tel Aviv regime.
