Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri begins his first official visit to Iran at a time when an international tribunal is expected to indict members of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia in the 2005 assassination of his father, Rafik Hariri.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has a natural role in the region, especially in resolving crisis and strengthening stability in Lebanon,” Hariri was quoted as saying Friday in an interview with Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency, or IRNA.
