Zarif had arrived in Lebanon on Monday on an official visit aimed at congratulating President Michel Aoun on his election and holding talks with senior Lebanese officials.

Zarif is reportedly one of the first foreign officials to visit Lebanon after Aoun’s election. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was also one of the first leaders who congratulated Aoun on his election.

While some Iranian officials have described Aoun’s election as a victory for Hezbollah and the so-called “axis of resistance.” Zaire declared Monday the election of a new president as a “victory for all Lebanese.”

Aoun, who is allied with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, was elected last week as Lebanon’s 13th president, which ended around two and a half years of presidential and political vacuum.

    You know, if it wasn’t for the sectarian religion BS dominating Iran’s government, the Iranian’s would be more progressive and would have already dominated the region, not through war and sneaking into other countries to ferment rebellion and terror. They would have dominated by innovation and progressive development, much like how the Shah made Iran a major regional power through cooperation and friendly trade. Khamenei and company simply have terrible self-representation and expression to the point they emanate conflict with just about everyone they deal with. Their angry sect based theocracy has defiantly been the death for success of social and economical greatness for any foreseeable future. There is little hope for change as long as these cruel mullahs run the country into the ground for self interest.

      Yes, it is very sad. However, their people must be the ones to decide whether and if they are ready for true change in their nation. Yet, as history has shown us time and again, no tyranny, no matter how strong, can last forever.

          This particular regime has been in power less than 40 years, and has has already proven itself as having a blood thirty lust for spreading its shiite Islamic revolution throughout the region and against their own people. It is a well known fact that Shah was not as bad a leader as the angry mullahs portray him to be. He just wasn’t shiite enough for these angry and sneaky mullahs that hijacked the revolution and killed all opposition with impunity. She has been on a backwards spiral ever since. One time, the Iranian toman/dollar was actually worth something (pre’79) on the global market now they have way too many zeros behind them to equal 1 USD.
          Iran is a contradiction within itself, the people don’t share the Islamic fever to the extent of the real power in Iran that preaches Khamenei hate speeches on a weekly bases.
          And sure, just like in every country, the individuals are a better representative of their country, than their own governments that prefer to hang people in the streets quite regularly.
          Basically these 12’er mullahs have no room to talk about others when they as do far worse to their own people to correct notion of free will and free speech.

    I don’t want to sound insensitive, but Iran truly should not be supporting any militant group, except (maybe) to counter the Islamic State. The problem with Hamas and Hezbollah is that they seem to be obsessed with attacking Israel more than anything…and that will just push Israel closer to Lebanon and Iran’s enemies in turn.

        How does Iran deal with Israel and Russia being so close, yet Iran also claims Russia as allies? You do know, Russia let Israel kill several IRCG generals and top Hezbollah leaders with airstrikes in Syria, several times?
        Russians plotting against Iran? Maybe?

            Never saw such stupidity..
            ‘Speaking of Right Wing Zionist Fascists, Sheldon Adelson’s Israel Hayom is the most-read newspaper in Israel and it chooses its writers very carefully.

            The following article by Yechiel Shabi is typical of how it sees things:
            http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=17273

            Dr. Shabi works as a professor of Business Administration at the Bar-Ilan University:
            http://mba.biu.ac.il/en/yechiel –
            From his name and appearance it would seem that he is a Mizrahi Jew whose views are typical of that community in Israel. History for him only begins in May 1948 – everything that happened before that, the many centuries of Jewish life in the Arab-Muslim world, never happened. Arabs “settled” the land of Israel and we must be ever vigilant to check their lies.

          People in the video are shown smiling in different parts of Gaza as they hold up signs reading “Thank you, Hamas.”
          The video is nothing but sheer tourism advertising, who should I trust now?

            No-one but the Zionists thought to ‘conquer’ the country ‘the one god’ came from. It was for all ‘the godly’, up to that time. They are the only ones who wanted to make it ‘private property.’ Sharing wasn’t in their nature.

          If “Gaza siege is inhuman.” how was it when Gaza was occupied by the Israelis?

          Israel has the power to occupy Gaza again, and even annexing Gaza and the West Bank if it wanted to end the Palestinian issue. They have not done it yet…

          Then why so much hullabaloo about the suffering in Gaza?
          All Palestinian arabs are suffering when it is a ockupation status quo, who will put an end to this status quo?

          Btw, I got the impression that Hind is more than a ‘lebanese’, she knows planty about israelis and the hebrew lounge.
          If she don’t work for same ‘agency’ then she must have palestinian arab roots.

        Perhaps, I have never been there so I would not know, but it is still not the Middle East’s most pressing concern at present. Lebanon, Israel, Iran, Turkey, the Gulf states…they should all be working on destroying the Islamic State more than anything.
