Iranian foreign minister arrives in Beirut, reports Lebanese media

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Beirut on Friday, Lebanese state media reported.

A Reuters live feed captured an Iranian-flagged plane landing at Beirut's airport, just hours after airstrikes struck areas near the airport overnight.

Araqchi is scheduled to meet with Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and parliament speaker Nabih Berri, a known ally of Hezbollah.
