Iran Press/ Middle East: Michel Aoun discussed the situation in Lebanon with the US delegation and the directions for the next stage.
Appreciating the US support of the Lebanese army, President Aoun said there was progress in forming the government.
Earlier EU adopted a legal framework to sanction several Lebanese individuals and entities for failing to address the crisis in the country properly.
The United States welcomed the EU’s adoption of a new sanctions regime claiming to promote accountability and reform in Lebanon.
The EU and US sanctions come after Najib Mikati secured enough votes in parliamentary consultations to be designated prime minister to form a government to tackle a financial crisis.
