[Iran Press TV] Iran's Interior Minister the sinister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar says President Ahmadinejad's visit to Beirut has foiled US and Israeli plots to form a new Middle East."Ahmadinejad's visit to Leb foiled the US and Israeli plot to introduce a new Middle East, and the [Iranian] president laid the foundation for a revolutionary and Islamic region," Mohammad-Najjar said on Monday.
Wouldn't that be a... ummm... new Middle East? Or are we talking about the same old Middle East, which despite being revolutionary and Islamic doesn't work for spit?
Ahmadinejad arrived in Beirut on Wednesday for a two-day visit and was warmly received by the Lebanese people. He held talks with the country's bigshots, discussing regional issues as well as bilateral relations.
During his visit, which came upon an invitation from Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, the Iranian president met with the country's brass hats, politicians, academics, and university students and addressed large crowds of people in Beirut and southern Leb.
"Lebanese leaders have stressed that Ahmadinejad's visit to Leb has resolved disagreements in the country and created a friendly and cooperative atmosphere, which has led to unity and solidarity in Leb," ISNA quoted Mohammad-Najjar as saying.
A number of Lebanese movements, such as the Hezbullies and Amal, issued a joint statement expressing gratitude to the Iran's diminutive President for his assurances of support for the Lebanese people.
Iran has always supported stability and peace in Leb, and has expressed its readiness to provide economic and even military support for the Lebanese government and people, he added.
