STORYLINE:

Iran is ready to cooperate with Arab and Islamic countries to rebuild parts of Lebanon damaged by Israeli military actions, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said on Sunday during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun.

Qalibaf, leading a delegation including Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, reiterated Tehran's support for Lebanon's sovereignty and stability during talks in Beirut, according to a statement from Lebanon's presidency.

He emphasized Iran's stance against external interference in Lebanese affairs and expressed hopes for expanded bilateral cooperation.

The Iranian speaker also conveyed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's greetings and invited Aoun to visit Tehran, underscoring the importance of strengthening ties across economic, political, and cultural sectors.

According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, Qalibaf said during his Lebanon visit that Iran will support any consensus reached among Lebanon's government, parliament, Hezbollah, and its people.

IRNA reported that the Iranian delegation visited Beirut to attend the funeral of former Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine, both killed by Israeli strikes last year.

Aoun welcomed the delegation, acknowledging Lebanon's prolonged challenges stemming from regional conflicts. He reiterated his stance on non-interference in sovereign affairs and emphasized that national unity is the best response to any aggression.

The Lebanese president praised Iran's involvement in a recent Riyadh summit, particularly its endorsement of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and recognition of the Palestinian Authority as the legitimate representative of Palestinians. Aoun reaffirmed Lebanon's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause and called for a fair resolution.

Aoun also expressed Lebanon's willingness to develop strong and mutually beneficial relations with Iran.
