 (ISNA) -- Tehran's ambassador to Beirut Mohammad Reza Sheibani has rejected allegation that Iran is supplying military aid including anti-aircraft missiles to Lebanon's resistant group Hezbollah, Xinhua reported.
| "Really. We have nothing to do with it. They make those armaments in their basements. They're really very good at it." |
Sheibani made the remarks after a meeting with Lebanese Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh. Sheibani said in his meeting with Salloukh that he had suggested that Tehran can provide technical, engineering and technological services to Lebanon.
| "Once we've installed our satrap he'll take care of all the details." |
He also said Iran hopes Lebanese President Michel Suleiman would answer to Iran's official invitation to pay a visit to Tehran in the near future.
| "You should come and meet your new overlords. You'll find us quite reasonable most of the time." |
On Iran's stance regarding Suleiman's planned trip to Syria, he said Tehran welcomes strong ties between Middle Eastern counties. |
