Iran Ambassador Says Nuclear Deal Could Reflect Positively on Lebanon
Iran's Ambassador to Beirut Mohammed Fathali stressed that his country's nuclear deal will reflect positively on Lebanon and the region, the state-run National News Agency reported on Saturday.
“The nuclear deal will affect Lebanon and the region positively. We believe that this agreement will pave way for positive atmospheres,” said Fathali after a meeting with Marada leader Suleiman Franjieh on head of a delegation.
“We believe that the nuclear deal will open a new leaf in the region, and it can even make a historic transition if the intentions were clear and genuine to strengthen cooperation and solidarity,” added the ambassador.
A deal was signed in July between Iran and six world powers — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — to curb Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief.
“We have to unite our efforts to confront the Zionist threats and takfiri terrorism. Hopefully we will be able to see several achievements in the region.”
The agreement would help improve economic ties between Iran and Lebanon, reports have said mainly after an earlier statement by the ambassador where he praised Lebanon's banking sector stating: “Lebanon enjoys a wide banking sector and Iran also enjoys diverse economic capabilities.”

helicopter "a statement like this from an enemy of Lebanon"
But how exactly is Iran an enemy of Lebanon? What did Iran ever do to Lebanon?
You are merely pushing your zionist propaganda, which constantly tries to make us forget the crimes committed by israel, trying to fool us into believing israel is not our enemy despite the facts and history, while at the same time trying to paint Iran as our enemy.
But while you invaded our country, massacred our people and stole from us, Iran did nothing but offer help, support our rights, and give us the means to defend ourselves.

In this deal with the big Satan Amreeka, Iran has had to put more than its fair share of water in its wine. Thus where it comes to Lebanon and in as far as concerns Aoun, he will not be president, not even carry on as chief of the FPM for much longer. The trash crisis in Lebanon is ultimately the last card Aoun and Sayed Hassan can use before the last straight line for the presidential elections. Now if anyone ever doubted that Iranians don't drink, here is a link, just one of many: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/03/world/africa/03iht-journal.html?_r=0

All these Lebanese Iranian supporters should be sent to Iran to live there, along with their religious clerics, their women in hideous hijabs and their goats and sheep; I bet they will come running back begging to be let back in. What a blight on our society to have such people in it.
Never was a president elected in Lebanon without outside interference or even being imposed on the Lebanese. So don't hope for anything new this time around.
