One of the occasions where Iran came to help Lebanon was the recent fuel crisis in the Arab country caused by the US sanctions on the Lebanese nation.
Lebanon has been facing fuel shortages and severe economic and livelihood problems for several months, such that most of the fuel distribution centers and stations in Lebanon were closed.
Following the fuel shortage in the country, the supply of power needed by the people and vital sectors, especially hospitals and the water and sewage systems faced serious problems amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The fuel crisis even was followed by protests in different parts of the country.
Now, the Lebanese know that their real enemy is the US, which is backing the Israel regime's siege of Lebanon and the instigators of sedition in the country.
With regard to the significance of Iran's fuel support for Lebanon, an expert of international economy, Reza Mohtashamipour says: "Iran's interests are defined in terms of stabilizing the region, while the United States' interests are defined in creating crises in the region and preventing economic stability in the countries."
As a result, arriving in Beirut, the Iranian foreign minister congratulated the formation of the new Lebanese government and stated that Tehran would never hesitate to help Lebanon if requested.
Amir-Abdollahian said: "The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that peace and stability in Lebanon have been achieved democratically, in the light of internal harmony and cohesion, and away from foreign interference."
The consecutive defeats of the Israeli regime in the region from the '33-Day-war in 2006' and 'Operation al-Quds Sword' in 2021 to the 'Freedom Tunnel' shows that the Lebanese people, along with the Resistance front, have achieved brilliant achievement against terrorism, the occupation and US sanctions.
In this process, the Islamic Republic of Iran will always stand by the Lebanese people and government.
