The Iranian Foreign Ministry's Spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said on Sunday that Iran joining the SCO was an end to the pressures aimed at forcing Iran into isolation. 

Khatibzadeh said during a press conference on Sunday that the Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian will meet the foreign ministers of close to 45 states, possibly including the P4+1’s, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. He added, however, that no conclusive decision has been made regarding the P4+1 meeting, as Iran needs first to see what the subject will be about, and then it will make its decision.

When asked whether or not there are plans to meet US representatives, he replied that there are no such plans.

As for Iran's fuel shipments to Lebanon and the recent statements made by Lebanon's Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, Khatibzadeh said that Iran is committed to cooperating with its friends, as well as friendly countries and governments. He added that sending fuel shipments to Lebanon was based on a request by Lebanese businessmen, and everything fell into place afterward. He also said that if the Lebanese government wishes to purchase fuel, then Iran is more than ready to help.

It is worth noting that the second batch of diesel tankers, which Hezbollah brought in from Iran for the Lebanese people, arrived yesterday through Syria.
