Lebanese PM discusses with Iranian official efforts to stop Zionist aggression on Lebanon

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati discussed with Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Shura Council, efforts to stop the Zionist aggression on Lebanon. A statement by the Lebanese government stated that Mikati stressed during the meeting that the government's priorities at this stage are to work on a ceasefire, stop the Zionist aggression, and preserve the security of Lebanon and the safety of its people. He also stressed Lebanon's commitment to implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701, strengthening the army's presence in the south, and making the necessary contacts with the resolution countries and the United Nations to pressure the Zionist entity to fully implement the resolution. Lebanon has been subjected to Zionist aggression since October 2023, but in recent days the entity has increased the pace of air and artillery bombardment in an unprecedented manner, and expanded the scope of its targeting to extend to the capital Beirut, which led to the martyrdom and injury of thousands of Lebanese, in addition to forcing more than a million people to flee their homes.
