Lebanese Energy Minister: We are not planning to negotiate with Iran on fuel imports

Lebanon currently has no plan to negotiate with Iran for the import of fuel, energy minister Raymond Ghajar said on Thursday, after the leader of the Tehran-backed Hezbollah group said it was talking to the Lebanese government about the idea.

“There is no plan to negotiate with Iran at present about importing fuel and the current discussion is with Iraq,” Ghajar said, referring to talks with the Iraqi government over possible fuel supplies.
