BEIRUT: It is Iran's duty to stand behind Lebanon amid its security crisis, Ambassador Mohammad Fathali said Monday, urging the government to accept Tehran's offer of military aid.
“We believe that if the military aid saw light and was approved, it will pave the way for more constructive and brotherly cooperation with the Lebanese government and the valiant Lebanese Army in the future,” Fathali said after meeting with former Prime Minister Salim Hoss.
The ambassador described Hoss as a respectful statesman, and praised him for his anti-imperialist stances.
“We truly and highly appreciate the national stands [Hoss has taken] in recent times, especially concerning the adoption of the resistance paradigm," he said.
Hoss served as prime minister from 1976 - 1980, 1987 - 1990, and 1998–2000.
