TEHRAN Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi expressed hope Saturday that deployment of the UN peace keeping forces on border regions of Southern Lebanon would prevent re-invasion of the Zionist regime on Lebanon and violation of the country's territorial integrity by the regime.
The Information and Press Department at Foreign Ministry quoted Kharrazi as welcoming stationing of the forces and calling stances of Lebanese government against border offenses of the Zionist regime as principled and right''.
He said now, through presence of the UN forces on new positions in Southern Lebanon, there would be the right expectation that likely offenses of the Zionist regime would be repelled and the Security Council would act strongly and speedily against aggression and any kind of violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon by the Zionist regime.
