IFP - A senior Lebanese politician says Iran should have been invited to the Riyadh summit to help work out an anti-terror deal.







Head of Lebanon�s Progressive Socialist Party Walid Jumblatt says Iran should have been invited to the recent summit held in Riyadh to help reach an overarching Islamic agreement on fighting terrorism.

�Iran should have been invited to the meeting in Saudi Arabia, especially after the re-election of moderate Hassan Rouhani as Iran�s president, in order to help reach a comprehensive Islamic deal to counter terrorists and extremists,� said Jumblatt.

Saudi Arabia recently hosted a summit in Riyadh attended by visiting US President Donald Trump and dozens of Arab and Muslim leaders.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Jumblatt touched upon the Saudi aggression on Yemen, saying, �We should attach special attention to training and development, so that we could work out a solution to the Yemen war.�

The Lebanese official concluded his remarks by saying the question of Palestine should remain the most pressing issue.
