Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdullahian today (Friday) summed up his round of visits abroad, which began with a weak response in Moscow - and ends with a loud shout in Beirut.
"Iran has reached a level of uranium enrichment where it can use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes," Abdullahian said upon leaving the Lebanese capital - amid uncertainty as to when nuclear talks will resume.
The minister announced that Iran would be willing to move forward in the negotiation process if the United States was serious about it.
Regarding tensions between Tehran and Baku, he added: "We are not ready for the Zionist entity to carry out intelligence activities near us, and the Azeri government will fulfill its role in this issue. The Zionist entity is too small to endanger Iran. However, we are not ready for its security presence near our borders. "The Israeli in Azerbaijan does not serve the interests of this country. We will not allow the Zionist entity to carry out activities in the Caucasus region."
Regarding Lebanon, Abdullahian claimed that "the axis of resistance in Lebanon has an important role, and Hezbollah has been at the forefront of defending the Lebanese people. In the near future you will see the results of Iranian peace and security activities in the region." Focus on the country's economic crisis. "
Even before the Iranian foreign minister left Beirut, he had time to meet with Hezbollah secretary general Hassan Nasrallah. And in the resistance movement in all the last decades to this day, "Nasrallah said." Iran has proven to be a true ally and a loyal friend of Lebanon, which does not abandon its members - no matter how serious the situation. " ".
Meanwhile, in an attempt to minimize the damage Iran has already caused to its foreign relations in the region, Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagri Kani was sent to Ankara, to calm the winds in front of the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
Tehran was soon alarmed, after Ankara closed all border crossings between the two countries to Iranian trucks - following tensions between Tehran and Baku.
