Nasrallah has repeatedly said that the tribunal probing the 2005 assassination of former<br />
Prime Minister Rafik Hariri is an “Israeli project” that will indict members of his party.<br />
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Saad Hariri met with Iran’s top leaders, including President<br />
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, to discuss bilateral relations<br />
and current affairs.<br />
The PM also met with Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi, who said that Tehran was<br />
prepared to help the Lebanese army.<br />
"We have stated on several occasions, and we say it again today, that we stand alongside<br />
the Lebanese army and are prepared to cooperate" with it, Vahidi said.<br />
The PM arrived in Iran on Saturday for an official visit. He is scheduled to meet with<br />
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Monday. (Now Lebanon)<br />
<br />
Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) leader MP Walid Jumblatt’s relationship with Prime<br />
Minister Saad Hariri “will not be affected by the warning stances that Jumblatt is taking<br />
regarding the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and its indictment,” Ad-Diyar newspaper<br />
reported on Monday.<br />
Jumblatt continues to desire good relations with Hariri, but he fears that the indictment<br />
is “a trap to drag Lebanon into a game of international and regional interests that it<br />
cannot bear,” the paper quoted an anonymous source close to Jumblatt as saying.<br />
“Some foreign forces want to use the STL and its indictment, perhaps to reach strife in<br />
the country,” Jumblatt said on Sunday.<br />
Tension is high in Lebanon amid unconfirmed reports that the STL will soon issue an<br />
indictment in its investigation of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s 2005 assassination.<br />
It is rumored that the indictment will name Hezbollah members.<br />
