Raisi made the remark in a meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly summit in New York City.
The Iranian president said that those who had assumed that they could face up with the Zionist regime and its supporters through means other than resistance have now realized that they were wrong and they are changing their attitude.
He said that enemies are trying to portray that developments in the region are going on as the US and the Zionist regime wish.
That’s while, Raisi added, normalization of ties between certain regional countries and the Zionist regime does not bring security for the regime at all and will only deepen the hatred toward the regime.
The Iranian president also stressed that unity is key for Lebanon, saying that the formation of a sovereign strong government there is of paramount importance.
The Lebanese prime minister expressed happiness over his meeting with Raisi and said that he will soon visit Iran.
Mikati said that Lebanon has always sought good ties with Iran and the two countries’ relations are currently at an excellent level.
