Suleiman Hails Iran Nuclear Deal, Hopes it Will Improve Ties between Regional Countries
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
President Michel Suleiman praised on Tuesday the deal reached between Iran and world powers over Tehran's nuclear program, hoping that it will reflect positively on the countries in the region.
He said in a statement: “We hope that ties between these countries will be improved in a manner that leads to a halt in the meddling of the affairs of others.”
He also hoped that the countries will base their ties on mutual respect and common interests.
The president stressed the importance of fortifying Lebanese national unity and stability.
“Moderation should be adopted at this critical time,” Suleiman remarked.
Earlier on Tuesday, the president had held talks on the nuclear deal with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon David Hale.
Over the weekend, Tehran agreed that it will not enrich uranium over five percent for the six-month period and will neutralize its entire stockpile of uranium enriched to 20 percent, which is close to weapons-grade and therefore an area of top concern.
In return, the EU and United States will suspend sanctions on Iran's petrochemical exports and gold and precious metals sector.
U.S. trade restrictions on the country's auto industry will also be suspended.

lol iran is not selling off Hezbollah, they will still have presence in both Syria and Lebanon. This deal is meant for the USA to backoff from Syria, which is slowly approaching =)

Fact is that it doesn't really matter what we do for the palestinians now, most of them see us as heretics anyway. So i rather want protect myself and my family. Hamas stabbed HA in the back, HA realized that no matter what they do, they will never be accepted by the muslim brotherhood.

@Southern : it's not a bad deal. However, you are dealing with the US and by proxy Israel now. So you are no longer entitled to call your opponents Zionist.
Israel is no longer a threat. You can now drop your weapons !

Agree with your analysis texas except fo HA being a threat to Israel (in appearances only). HA never was and never will be a threat to Israel. There is an implicit understanding between the two (just like the one between Bachar and Israel)that they will not attack Israel and in return Israel will let them have enough power to rule. Israel never wished for Lebanon to be a true Democracy where Tourism, Business and economy flourishes and pose economical and cultural threat to it. HA is the best guarantee it has to accomplish that.

Likewise Mr. President, I hope that our Laws and Constitution are amended such that they lead to the prosecution of lawmakers or militia thugs who are the conduit through which other nations meddle in Lebanon's affairs. It is like the war on drugs, it can not be won by prosecuting drug lords and traffickers alone but also work on the demand side ass well.

Of course I do not represent M-14 or anyone ellse but myself (as I am not paid by anyone or received favors from any party)...... but here is my thoughtful reply:
I pity Lebanon for having some citizens * are happy to see some groups having arms outside the LAF and ISF * do not mind that hose groups control key Government assets (such as ports and electricity) * Do not speak up against corruption and intimidation done by such groups ............... and so on.
Yes you are one of those people the_roar, but lucky for Lebanon you happened to live in Australia.

are you for real, you make it seem like Iran came begging on its knees to the americans for some charity. Iran is in an alliance with Russia and China, you think they need to come begging to the americans. The whole arab world with the backing of Israel and the americans couldn't over power the Iranians when the Iranians were at their weakest during the 8 year war. You don't even have a clue.
