Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf thanked Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri on Saturday for his role in securing the Lebanon cease-fire, saying Iran remains committed to supporting Lebanon and its "resistance."
Ghalibaf also attributed rebel activities in Syria to "the goals of the Zionist entity."
Berri responded by crediting Iran’s critical role in assisting Lebanon, describing Israel as a “ravenous beast” threatening the region.
Nabih Berri, who leads the Amal Movement, is an ally of Hezbollah.

Hezbollah rejected a ceasefire plan agreed by the Lebanese and Israeli governments in U.S.-mediated talks, as Israel kept up strikes in southern Lebanon on Thursday and said it wouldn't be withdrawing from the south.
The European Union has announced a €100 million aid package for the Lebanese Armed Forces, bringing its recent total support for Lebanon to €182 million.
