Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian expressed Tehran's readiness to use its capabilities to participate in the settlement of the crisis in Yemen, Tasnim reported.

During his visit to Beirut, the Iranian Foreign Minister met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, where he discussed a number of issues, including the expansion of bilateral ties, as well as regional and international events.

“We closely monitor the developments in Lebanon and are a friend and a supporter of this country both in difficult days and during the times of calm. We are ready for all types of cooperation with this friendly country in its current difficult juncture,” Amirabdollahian said.

The Iranian Foreign Minister pointed to the rapid pace of developments in the region.

“We believe these developments will be in the interest of Lebanon and the entire region.”

“Based on the information that we have, we are positive regarding the region’s future and the outcome of negotiations,” he stated.

“Unfortunately, we are living in a region where there is a web of problems. While the Arab states are agitated, we are suffering from the issue of Syrian refugees; therefore, we should move toward stability,” the Lebanese president said.
