Foreign Affairs Minister Gebran Bassil stressed Sunday the need to confront the terrorist movement that has been threatening the world and humanity.
In a joint press conference held in Tehran with Top Advisor for International Affairs for the Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei, and Head of Strategic Studies Center of the Expediency Council Ali Akbar Velayati, Bassil said that they intend to destroy terrorism, adding that they have the required military and intellectual power to eradicate terrorism and prevent it from spreading across the world.
“There lies Lebanon’s importance as a model for the fight against terrorism, which is attempting to eliminate intellectual diversity in the region,” he stated.
Minister Bassil noted that after Iran entered a new historical stage, it now has the duty to provide the people of the world and the region with energies that can now be exported abroad.
On another note, Bassil expressed gratitude for the Iranian authorities for helping Lebanon confront Israel, calling for a united battle against terrorism around the world.
For his part, Velayati said that the fight against terrorism must be a regional battle, not only in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
He also hoped that the upcoming circumstances in Lebanon will be suitable for a presidential election.
