Iran Reserves Support for Presidential Candidates in Lebanon

Iran does not support any special candidate in Lebanon and it stresses the need for a comprehensive agreement and consensus among Lebanese groups, tribes and figures, foreign ministry spokesman said. Speaking to reporters during his weekly press conference here on Sunday, Hosseini warned against foreign interventions in Lebanon’s presidential elections.

“Any kind of new intervention would cause new problems for this country,” he told reporters, underlining that the country’s problem could only be solved through a Lebanese solution.

Hosseini expressed the hope that Lebanese officials could overcome their current problems through reaching a comprehensive agreement and national consensus.
