Iran Press/ Middle East: In the meeting, Mujtaba Amani indicated that Iran’s fuel donation was decided upon Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s initiative, adding that the donation includes a fuel grant as well as power plants repair and construction.
The Lebanese caretaker energy minister Walid Fayyad told reporters that all the Lebanese political forces have encouraged approval of the Iranian donation due to the severe power crisis plaguing Lebanon.
Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah announced during a televised interview in July that he is ready to mediate a free fuel donation from Iran in order to cope with the power crisis in Lebanon.
"Iran is keen to provide complete support for Lebanon. Our country is ready to donate fuel oil for Lebanon upon the approval of the Lebanese government and the official visit of a delegation to Tehran for direct coordination on this matter," Mojtaba Amani was quoted by the Lebanese Elnashra news agency as saying last August.
