On May 25, Iran's Foreign Minister sent a message of congratulations to the government and people of Lebanon on the anniversary of Liberation Day, which marks the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon in 2000.
In the message, the Iranian diplomat expressed support for Lebanon, emphasizing that Tehran and Beirut maintain strong friendly relations. The Iranian Foreign Minister also reaffirmed Iran's commitment to continue supporting Lebanon across various fields, including political and economic areas.
Lebanon's Liberation Day is observed annually on May 25, commemorating the historic event when Israeli troops withdrew from southern Lebanon after more than two decades of occupation, ending in 2000. It is a day for the Lebanese people to remember and honor the sacrifices made in the struggle for independence.
Iran's congratulatory gesture once again demonstrates the strategic partnership between the two nations, which has been sustained and developed over decades despite regional challenges.
