Top adviser to supreme leader says Iran supports Lebanon on cease-fire talks

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Ali Larijani, senior adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said Friday that his country was not "sabotaging" efforts to achieve a Hezbollah-Israel cease-fire and will back any decision made by the Lebanese government and the Tehran-backed militant group.

"We will approve and support any decision by the Lebanese resistance [Hezbollah] and the Lebanese government," Larijani told reporters after holding talks with House Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati.
