A member of the delegation accompanying Iranian official Ali Larijani during his visit to Lebanon stated that the delegation was received by Lebanese authorities "following standard diplomatic protocols."

Speaking to Al Mayadeen, the official refuted claims from certain media outlets that the delegation had been subjected to inspection at Beirut Airport, calling them "false" and baseless.

He further clarified that these reports were intended to "distort Larijani’s visit, which was successful."

The statement came in response to media allegations of a dispute between the Iranian delegation and airport security personnel.

Larijani's visit to Lebanon came with a message

Ali Larijani, Senior Advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, revealed that he carried messages to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.

In an interview for Al Mayadeen on Friday, Larijani confirmed that the messages he carried were directly from the Leader of the Revolution and the Republic.

While refraining from disclosing specific details, the senior Iranian official emphasized that the content of the messages revolves around supporting the people and Resistance movements in both countries.

“These messages, originating from the Leader of the Revolution and the Islamic Republic, aim to bolster the Lebanese and Syrian peoples and their Resistance,” he stated.

“This is not about secrecy or danger but about respecting the recipients' prerogative to disclose or act upon the messages as they see fit."

Regarding the American draft received by Berri to stop the aggression against Lebanon, Larijani affirmed that "Iran will support any decision made by the Lebanese government and the Resistance.”

He pointed out that the draft "could, in some of its points, lead to a future solution, provided that Washington and Israel do not attempt to mess with it."

In the same context, Larijani added that "Hezbollah is a rational and logical party with many wise and politically mature leaders, and we trust them and their decisions," considering that "the Resistance is mature, both in its intellect and action."

"It does not need any advice from anyone; rather, it often offers guidance to others," he asserted.

While Larijani viewed the Israeli political and military statements as "propagandist", he emphasized Iran's trust in "the awareness of the Resistance leaders."

The Iranian official underscored that "the battles being fought by the Resistance in South Lebanon indicate the failure of the Zionists and their irrationality."

Larijani emphasized that "preserving the Lebanese people and their Resistance is on our minds, and other parties must strive for that." He also underlined that the people and Resistance in Lebanon "have shown how logical they are and possess great awareness and understanding of the situation."
