The Iranian embassy in Lebanon held a dinner at its premises with the participation of Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun and several party figures, Tehran's diplomatic mission announced on Tuesday.
"Aoun was accompanied to ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi's dinner by Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil, Education Minister Elias Bou Saab, Energy Ministry Arthur Nazarian as well as MPs Abbas Hashem, Nabil Nicolas, Hikmat Dib, Alain Aoun, Naji Gharios and Fadi al-Awar,” a statement by the embassy detailed.
The talks tackled bilateral relations and the latest developments in Lebanon and the region, particularly in Syria, according to the statement.
Aoun's dinner at the embassy comes amid reports saying the Christian leader might visit Saudi Arabia soon.
"There is nothing that prevents such a visit,” Aoun stated on Tuesday after the Change and Reform bloc's weekly meeting, pointing out however that no dates have been set yet.
The FPM leader has recently met with former Prime Minister Saad Hariri, which allowed easing the formation of premier Tammam Salam's cabinet.

Good point, but, now a days, I don't see any Middle Eastern up and coming politician betting his carrier and reputation on a party, even remotely, backed by the U.S.

Paying homage to the damn Persians. I have never seen such groveling. Shame on the Lebanese-=- we used to be miles above the Iranians, Jordanians, Syrians and all the primitive groups that surround us-- yet now we have to grovel at the feet of the Iranians... Hezbollah has taken us back into the 15th century. I am sure there were no women at this gathering...

Right on! Maybe the Israelis can take care of that for us since we are afraid of ruffling feathers.
