He also reaffirmed Iran’s steadfast support for the government, people, army, and resistance of Lebanon.
Pointing to the Zionist regime’s history of reneging on agreements, the Iranian foreign minister emphasized the need for Lebanon to remain vigilant and exercise serious caution regarding the implementation of the ceasefire.
Pointing to the recent developments in Syria and the renewed activities of Takfiri terrorist groups, Araqchi described these incidents as part of a US-Zionist plot to destabilize the region following the failures and setbacks of the Zionist regime in the face of the resistance.

The Lebanese foreign minister, for his part, provided a detailed account of Lebanon’s situation following the ceasefire.
