BEIRUT, August 15 (Online Int’l): Ten days after the deadly Beirut explosion, rescue workers recovered the remains of firefighters killed while battling the initial blaze, as authorities appointed a well-respected judge to lead the investigation.
Brought to its knees by the cataclysmic explosion, Beirut has seen the arrival of a string of high-level international envoys, a sign that Lebanon has returned to the centre of struggles for regional influence.
Mohammad Javad Zarif, foreign minister of Iran, which backs Lebanon’s powerful Hezbollah, is set to meet officials in the capital on Friday.
He risks crossing paths with the top career diplomat of Iran’s arch-foe the United States, David Hale, and French Defence Minister Florence Parly, who will also meet with Lebanese authorities and civil society representatives.
