TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement Seyed Hassan Nasrallah held talks in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.

“The Resistance (movement) intends to protect Lebanon and the region from the main threats posed by enemies,” he noted, adding that the enemy is trying to undermine the solidarity, security, and infrastructures of humanity in the region.
The Hezbollah chief also congratulated Zarif on Iran’s achievements in recent conclusion of nuclear talks, saying that the outcomes and achievements of such events are "positive and constructive for Lebanon and the region."
