During his visit to Beirut, the Iranian Foreign Minister, Hussein Amir Abdollahian, had to cancel a meeting with leading figures of the March 8 group, particularly MPs, when they declined his invitation without any excuse.
Their refusal to meet Abdollahian indicates a new political mood among the March 8 group. This was the explanation given in some political circles.
On the sidelines of his official talks, the Iranian Minister held a meeting with representatives of Palestinian factions close to Tehran, asking them to maintain calm in the camps.
