An Iranian deputy foreign minister has met with Hezbollah Secretary-General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah following terrorist attacks against Iran�s Embassy in Lebanon.
The meeting between Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and Nasrallah took place on Wednesday in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

Amir-Abdollahian arrived in Lebanon capital, Beirut, earlier on Wednesday after twin bombings near the Iranian Embassy killed 25 people, including six Iranians, on Tuesday.

Iran�s Cultural Attach� to Beirut Hojjatoleslam Ebrahim Ansari and the wife of another Iranian diplomat were among the victims. The explosions wounded more than 150 people.

Amir-Abdollahian also met with the Lebanese President Michel Suleiman on Wednesday, calling on the country�s officials to establish a fact-finding mission to investigate the terrorist attacks.

Suleiman and caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati condemned the attacks in a statement issued following a Wednesday meeting of Lebanon�s Higher Defense Council.

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has also condemned the "appalling� bombings, calling for the punishment of those behind the terrorist attacks.

�The Secretary-General hopes that those responsible for this attack will be brought to justice expeditiously. He reiterates the determination of the international community to support Lebanon�s security and stability,� said a statement issued by Ban�s spokesperson on Tuesday.
