'What's new in Araghchi's visit is that he said that Iran would deal with the Lebanese state and not with political parties,' the source said. 'Araghchi's message was to avoid engaging in a dialogue that would decide the fate of (Hezbollah's) weapons before knowing the outcome of the (Iranian nuclear) negotiations with the U.S.,' the source added. 'Araghchi's message to the allies was that Tehran is determined to absorb the requirements of the new era and to deal with its transformations,' the source went on to say.

PM Salam: I knew 2 days in advance of the insult ambush at the sports city. Hezbollah is creating an imaginary enemy.
Nidaa Al Watan' quoted Lebanon PM Nawaf Salam as saying : I knew in advance about the insult ambush at the Sports City, and Hezbollah is creating an imaginary enemy. During a media chat at the Grand Serail, he said 'knew two about the organized insult ambush at the Sports City 2 days before, but he insisted on going ahead , placing Hezbollah's campaign against him within the framework of his efforts to create an 'imaginary enemy' that would divert the attention of his supporters from his suffering. Certainly Hezbollah had the wrong address, as he reviewed all the reconstruction efforts his government had undertaken, including government sessions and conferences, and indicated that the main obstacle to the contribution of some donors was instability, linked to daily Israeli attacks, which in turn are linked to the issue of Hezbollah arms.' Salam also revealed, according to the newspaper, that he 'visited Ain al-Tineh to ask Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to open an extraordinary Parliament session to accelerate the pace of reforms, not to repent, as 'some' media outlets have portrayed. The positions he has voiced in dialogues and forums do not require a 'catalog.' He emphasized his commitment to balanced relations based on mutual respect with all political components in the country, and that he is only an adversary to those who refuse to abide by the ministerial statement, from which he does not deviate in his positions, as this constitutes a translation of the contents of the 'speech of oath' and, more importantly, the 'Taif Agreement.' Those who refuse to abide by it should announce this publicly. He explained that his government has not been informed by the Palestinian Authority of any indication that it has withdrawn from the 'camps' weapons' program, which was originally initiated by the PA, and therefore the plan continues. He believes that the 'party' campaign and other campaigns of those affected and 'populist' outbidding will not succeed in dissuading his government from implementing its reform program. The newspaper added, 'While it was widely believed that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi intended, during his visit to Beirut, to secure a photo opportunity to place on the table of the Grand Bazaar with America, to affirm the influence of the Ayatollahs in this sensitive region and pave the way for a trade-off. The hype surrounding his book was fabricated to divert attention from the book by the 'greatest' diplomat, Mohammad Javad Zarif, the Prime Minister explained that, in the closed session, Araghchi expressed his country's keenness to open a new page in relations with Lebanon, based on non-interference in its affairs, as part of Iran's path of openness and cooperation with the countries of the region.' The newspaper explained that, 'As Araghchi reviewed the path to developing relations with Egypt and the Persian Gulf, Salam intervened, correcting him by saying, 'I am happy to develop your relations with the Arabian Gulf,'' a term now commonly used globally. The senior Iranian diplomat smiled and did not respond. He presented the Prime Minister with a small, beautiful Persian carpet as a gesture of 'friendship' and to remind him of the diplomacy of the Persian 'carpet weaver,' characterized by patience and maneuvering between supply and demand.'

Iranian FM Araghchi to Al-Manar: Beirut Visit Reflects Tehran's Regional Strategy, Support for Resistance Is Unshakable
Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi affirmed Tehran's commitment to deepening political and economic cooperation with Lebanon, defending the sovereign right to nuclear development. In an exclusive interview with Al-Manar TV on Wednesday, FM Araghchi dismissed claims that Hezbollah operates as an Iranian proxy in Lebanon. Araghchi stated that his visit comes within the framework of the Islamic Republic's policy to reinforce its relationship with Lebanon's newly formed government. He described his meetings in Beirut with senior Lebanese officials as 'constructive,' adding that they resulted in agreements to expand trade and economic cooperation, alongside increased political coordination. He also addressed the issue of the suspension of Iranian flights at Beirut International Airport, saying Tehran is prepared to resolve any technical or procedural concerns. 'There is a genuine Lebanese will to restore direct flights between the two countries to their previous levels,' Araghchi noted. Responding to regional and international narratives, Araghchi firmly rejected characterizations of Hezbollah as an Iranian arm in Lebanon. 'Hezbollah is an independent Lebanese group, deeply rooted in the Lebanese social fabric, and plays a vital national role in defending the country,' he stated. He dismissed accusations that Lebanon is being turned into a battlefield for regional or international conflicts. 'Such claims aim to weaken Lebanon and sow division among its people,' Araghchi said, stressing that Iran's political support for the resistance does not equate to interference in its sovereign decisions. The foreign minister reiterated Iran's willingness to assist in Lebanon's reconstruction. 'Iranian companies have extensive experience in major infrastructure projects across several countries,' he noted, emphasizing that cooperation would take place solely through official government channels and in line with the priorities set by the Lebanese government. Araghchi also reassured that all collaboration with Lebanon would remain within the bounds of international law and would not expose the country to repercussions related to sanctions imposed on Iran. 'We are committed to legal and transparent cooperation that protects Lebanon's interests.' On the Iranian nuclear file, Araghchi delivered a resolute message saying that 'uranium enrichment is one of the greatest achievements of our national scientists, and we will never give it up under any circumstances.' He underscored that Iran's enriched uranium is essential for meeting medical and industrial needs. 'Our domestically produced radioisotopes are used to treat over one million patients annually,' he added, highlighting the human cost behind Iran's nuclear progress. 'Some of our scientists have paid with their lives for this achievement—we will not abandon it regardless of pressure.' While keeping the details of nuclear negotiations confidential, Araghchi said that Iran is carefully reviewing the latest US proposal and will respond at the appropriate time based on national interests. 'We will not relinquish our sovereign right to peaceful nuclear energy.' Sending a clear warning to any would-be aggressors, Araghchi stated, 'Any attack on Iran will have catastrophic consequences for the aggressors.' He emphasized the strength of Iran's deterrence capabilities, noting that its nuclear facilities are well protected and that critical materials are dispersed in a way that makes a decapitating strike nearly impossible. 'Our nuclear program is powered by the minds and expertise of our people. Thus, it cannot be erased by bombing.'
