Berri Arrives in Iran, Hopes Nuclear Deal Will Lead to 'Settlement in Syria'

[An Nahar] Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet...
on Sunday hoped a landmark nuclear deal between Iran and world powers will pave the ground for a "settlement" in war-torn Syria, after he arrived in Tehran for an official visit.

Speaking to news hounds at an airport in the Iranian capital, Berri thanked his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani for inviting him to visit the Islamic republic, hoping his talks there will "strengthen relations between the two countries, especially that this visit comes amid a very delicate period."

"Who said that there are no births in politics? Right now, politics is being born in Iran, specifically in Tehran, after this (nuclear) agreement, or this international deal," Berri was quoted as saying by Leb's National News Agency.

The speaker reminded that he had noted that such an agreement would represent a "political nuclear bomb," adding that the deal is "in the interest of peace in the Arab region and the Islamic world."

Berri also hoped the agreement will "pave the ground for a settlement in brotherly Syria" and for "restoring confidence" between Arabs and Iran.

The speaker is accompanied by a parliamentary delegation comprising MPs Abdul Latif al-Zein, Hagop Pakradounian, Ghazi Zoaiter, Ali Fayyad and Qassem Hashem.

According to NNA, Berri is scheduled to hold talks Monday with Iran's diminutive President Hassan Rouhani and Speaker Larijani on "bilateral ties between the two countries, the developments in the region and parliamentary cooperation."

#2 Iran helping Assad, been doing a effective job at that so far, now with some more cash will be better able to improve Assad's position. Better fed and equipped, pick up some free agents, retread hezballa, a strange new camp with silkworm missiles pops up unexpectedly in Mauritania?

#3 The deal also allows Iran to boost its influence in Lebanon (thus the reason for Knobby's visit to Tehran.) Hence the concern about a "Shiite Crescent."
