Cesar Maalouf, Member of Parliament for the Lebanese Forces has thanked the "brotherly country" of Iran over sending fuel to the Arab country as other countries abandoned the crisis-hit Lebanon.
"Of course I should thank Iran" said the Lebanese MP referring to the critical situation challenging the Arab country stressing that Iran should particularly be thanked when "allies have sold out and abandoned" Lebanon.
This is while the Lebanese MP is from the Geagea-led party traditionally known as a pro-US, anti-Iran, and anti-Hezbollah party.
The 43-year-old MP said that his gratitude is particularly for Iran's standing with Lebanon at the same time that he asked the brotherly Arab states-notably Saudi Arabia- for help.
He denounced the Americans for "putting pressure" on Lebanon by imposing sanctions in order to "make us starve, humiliate us and make us kneel down."
Iran has sent its first fuel-carrying vessel for Lebanon upon a demand by Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah who warned the United States and Israeli regime that the vessel is counted as Lebanese soil since its departure from Iran.
