Lebanon - Nov 15

Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Fathali expressed hope Saturday that the government could overcome obstacles to facilitate the arms transfer from Iran to Lebanon. Defense Minister Samir Moqbel visited Iran last month to discuss the grant from Tehran and is expected to propose it to the Cabinet. Several ministers have raised concerns that the arms transfer would be a violation of U.N. sanctions on Iran. March 8 coalition politicians see the grant as unconditional and needed.
