BEIRUT (Sputnik) - Russia, due to its relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and its strong ties with many Arab countries and Lebanon, could play an important role in the region, Mahmoud Kamati, deputy head of Hezbollah’s political council, told Sputnik.
“Today, Russia, thanks to its relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran and its genuine ties with many Arab countries and Lebanon, can play a role at the regional level, and we hope for that. But unfortunately, the United States is creating obstacles and barriers to any Russian role. At the same time, the US has turned to Russia to influence Iran and achieve a ceasefire. Sooner or later, they will need Russia,” Kamati said.
