BEIRUT - Iran’s foreign minister says his country is ready to co-operate with the new Lebanese government, offering support in all sectors. Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke to reporters Sunday at Beirut’s airport shortly after his arrival in the Lebanese capital. Lebanon formed a new government last week after a nine-month vacuum that exacerbated the country’s economic woes. Zarif congratulated Lebanese politicians and said Iran is ready to support the government in any way possible. He is scheduled to meet with the Lebanese president, prime minister and foreign minister during his visit.
