The visit of Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdullahian to the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine is a means for Iran to pressure the Israeli occupation, Israeli media reported on Friday.

Israeli Walla! news military commentator Amir Bohbot said the Iranian foreign minister was keen to send a clear message that what he was doing was a game of awareness and pressure in light of the tremendous shifts taking place in the region.

"Amir-Abdollahian is mainly trying to create pressure himself," the Israeli journalist claimed.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces spokesperson Ronen Manelis claimed that the Iranian top diplomat's visit to the Lebanese-occupied Palestinian borders came in response to Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen's visit to Turkmenistan.

According to Manelis, the Israeli occupation is concerned about the "Iranian political process complementary to the military coordination that we saw during Passover."

"During Passover, we saw operations. We saw the Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, sitting with a delegation from Hamas and with the Iranians, coordinating the Axis (of Resistance), despite the Israeli claims that he did not know or hear, and what happened was a coincidence," the Israeli spokesperson added.

"What happened this week is a complementary diplomatic effort. We see Iran's foreign minister arriving in Lebanon and touring with Hezbollah officials at the (border) fence, and we see Iran's president arriving in Syria next week for the first time since the start of the Syrian war, and this is practically the case," Manelis said.

Amir-Abdollahian on Wednesday arrived in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after concluding his visit to Oman, on an official visit in which he discussed with Lebanese officials the latest developments in the region.

The visit to Beirut, Amir-Abdollahian said, came as a way for Iran to announce its "unwavering support for the people, the army, and the Resistance in Lebanon."

During a press conference at the Iranian embassy in Lebanon, Amir-Abdollahian said his country has prioritized openness and communication with the regional states in general, and neighboring states in particular.

The Iranian foreign minister underlined that the latest developments in the region generalize a feeling of positivity, adding that Lebanon is of high influence in the region.

Sayyed Nasrallah and Amir-Abdollahian discussed the latest regional developments, especially the Iranian-Saudi agreement and its repercussions on countries of the region, as well as the latest developments in Lebanon and occupied Palestine.

Moreover, during a visit to the south Lebanese village of Maroun El Ras, the Iranian top diplomat underlined that Tehran supports the Lebanese resistance in the face of the Israeli occupation.

He concluded that throughout the meetings he had with Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziyad Al-Nakahlah, that the Axis of Resistance is determined to turn the tables against the Israeli occupation.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his accompanying delegation met on Friday with Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in the presence of Mojtaba Amani, the Iranian Ambassador to Beirut.
