Iran's Araqchi to Visit Beirut After Lebanese Minister Declines Tehran Trip

The foreign minister of Iran, Abbas Araqchi, is going to visit Beirut in Lebanon.

This happened because the Lebanese foreign minister, Youssef Raji, said he couldn't go to Tehran for a meeting.

Raji explained that the situation in Lebanon right now doesn't allow him to travel, but he still wants to talk to Iran.

Araqchi accepted the invitation to go to Beirut and said he understands why Raji can't come to Tehran.

Raji also talked about how Lebanon wants to have good relations with Iran based on respect and not interfering in each other's affairs.

He mentioned that a strong country should be the only one with weapons, which might mean he wants groups like Hezbollah to give up their arms.
