Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Damascus to discuss regional developments and bilateral relations with Syrian officials, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson says.

Yesterday, Araghchi visited Lebanon for the first time since the leader of Tehran-backed Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a Beirut airstrike alongside a high-ranking Iranian commander.

Araghchi met with top Lebanese officials, including caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and speaker of parliament Nabih Berri – a Hezbollah ally.
