Iranian Embassy in Beirut: Oil tankers carrying Iranian fuel will soon leave for Lebanon

According to the report of Fars International News Agency, a Lebanese channel, citing the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, announced that Iran is ready to send oil tankers carrying fuel to Lebanon in the next one or two weeks in order to help the country to set up power plants and generate electricity.

Al-Manar network quoted the Iranian embassy in Beirut and wrote: Iranian oil tankers carrying fuel will be ready to leave for Lebanon in the next one or two weeks. A Lebanese delegation in Tehran is consulting with the responsible officials in Iran’s energy and oil ministries, and among the issues discussed by both sides are the reform of electricity networks and the construction of power plants.

According to Al-Manar, based on what was agreed with Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Minister of Energy and Water, Walid Fayyaz, during the meetings of the Lebanese delegation with Iranian officials, they will discuss assistance to Lebanon in the field of fuel.

It was almost two weeks ago that in the shadow of Lebanon’s continued need for fuel, a Lebanese newspaper announced the imminent trip of a technical delegation from the Lebanese government to Iran and wrote that after the telephone call of “Mohammed Mokhbar”, the first vice president of Iran, to “Nabieh Bari” Speaker of the Parliament and Najib Miqati and his emphasis that; His country supports all the projects that will lead to the stability of Lebanon, and after the official response of the Lebanese Prime Minister to the Iranian ambassador in Beirut, Mojtaba Amani, regarding the specifications related to receiving fuel from Iran, Miqati asked the Minister of Energy to send a technical delegation to send Iran to investigate the case of fuel and its production plants.

According to this newspaper, in a letter to the Prime Minister of Lebanon, the Ministry of Energy has introduced the members of the delegation, which are: “Oror Al-Faghali”, the Director General of Oil and Deputy Director General of Investments, Engineer “Zaher Suleiman”, Deputy Director General of Oil Facilities, Engineer “Bashara Atieh”. The production manager of the electricity company and “Mohammed Hejazi” is an employee of the administrative department of the electricity company. After the Lebanese Prime Minister agreed, he wrote a letter to the Iranian ambassador in Beirut and informed about the formation of this delegation and its names to travel to Iran in the coming week and review all technical, administrative and contractual aspects to implement the issue of Iran’s aid to Lebanon as soon as possible. gave

This issue started when Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, said in an interview with “Al-Mayadeen” channel a few weeks ago: “Regarding oil, the problem is not ours, but the Lebanese government’s main problem. I am ready to import fuel from Iran, provided that the Lebanese government accepts this issue; But no one in Lebanon dares to do this; Because he is afraid of American sanctions against his family. Today, Russian and Iranian companies may be ready to cooperate with Lebanon, but the government does not have this courage.”

Even “Samir Geagea”, the head of the “Al Quwat al-Lebananiyeh” party in Lebanon, a month ago, demanded to agree to the proposal of the Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah to buy fuel from Iran and wrote on his Twitter account: “I think that the Lebanese government should agree with the proposal Seyed Hassan Nasrallah should agree to bring Iranian fuel for free in order to set up energy production plants in the country.

Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, announced last year in his speech on the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS) after frequent power outages in this country and politicians’ failure to agree on the supply of fuel, that he had reached an agreement with the Iranian side on the import of fuel. Is. Hezbollah had announced that the price of fuel imported from Iran was paid by Lebanese businessmen.

Only hours after the announcement of this news, Lebanese President Michel Aoun announced that he received a phone call from Dorothy Shea, the American ambassador in Beirut, in which Shea informed the President of Lebanon that the American government has decided to import electricity from Jordan to Lebanon. slow This action of the United States took place while this country had never made such a proposal during the year-long crisis in Lebanon and despite the country’s dire need for fuel.

Although the promise of the Secretary General of Hezbollah was fulfilled and the Iranian fuel came to Lebanon, but after about a year, the promises of the United States regarding the import of electricity and gas to Lebanon have not been fulfilled.
