Iran will send a team to cooperate with the Lebanese government in the interrogation process of the arrested Saudi terrorist who planned for the terrorist attacks on Iran’s embassy in Beirut.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif announced that Iran will send a team to cooperate with the Lebanese government in the interrogation process of the arrested Saudi terrorist who planned for the terrorist attacks on Iran’s embassy in Beirut in late November, state-run IRNA news agency reported.

“Given the role of this man in creation of insecurities in the region and also assassination of Iranian embassy staff and a number of Lebanese nationals, the Islamic Republic of Iran plans to send a team to Lebanon to help with the interrogation process,” Zarif said in a telephone conversation with his Lebanese counterpart Adnan Mansour on Friday.

Zarif also conveyed President Sheikh Hasan Rouhani’s gratitude for the Lebanese government’s effective measures in arresting the main perpetrators behind the terrorist attack against Iranian embassy in Beirut.

The Lebanese foreign minister, for his part, thanked Iran for declaring its preparedness to help with the investigation process of the Saudi national.

On Tuesday, the Lebanese security forces said they have arrested Majed al-Majed, the Saudi ringleader of Abdullah Izzam Brigade which has claimed responsibility for the November 19 bombings in front of Tehran’s embassy in Beirut, which left 23 dead and 146 others injured, including cultural attaché Ebrahim Ansari.

In relevant remarks in December, Iranian lawmakers took Takfiri groups affiliated to Riyadh responsible for the bombings, saying that the terrorists have had the backup of Riyadh.
