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.

Iran believes there is enough oil in the global market but is capable of pumping more into it if the figures warrant and if there is agreement by OPEC to do so, Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari said.

Foreign Minister and Chief EU Negotiator Ali Babacan reiterated Turkey’s determination to enter the European Union on Thursday, just a day after Turkey-EU Joint Parliamentary Commission meeting at the Turkish Parliament, where he promised Turkey will certainly meet EU acquis and accomplish required reforms.
