Secretary of the Expediency Council and former IRGC Commander Mohsen Rezaei posted Thursday in his account and responded to the sudden resignation of Hariri and its announcement in another country.

"Saad Hariri, who had taken office a few years ago through national unity dialogue with Lebanese President Michel Aoun and Hezbollah and had spent a peaceful, stable, and economic term in Lebanon, made a surprise resignation under Saudi Arabia’s pressure,” he noted.

Rezaei underlined that the current data indicates the start of a new adventure by Saudi Arabia, the Zionist regime and the United States. However, the problem with this sinister triangle is that even their friends are approaching Iran and, as a result, weaken and neutralize their management in the region."
