BEIRUT (Dispatches) -- Iran is ready to send ships loaded with fuel to Lebanon within one or two weeks to help run the country’s power plants, the Iranian embassy in Beirut told Al-Manar TV as a Lebanese delegation was in Tehran to discuss energy cooperation. A Lebanese energy ministry spokesperson said they were unaware whether a fuel import deal had been struck but said “any gift from anywhere is welcome”. Lebanon and Iran are also discussing the construction of new power plants and fixing electrical power networks, the embassy said.
