"We consider this as interference by the United States of America," he said clarifying that "it is not the first time that US tries to intervene in others' affairs."
"In many of the cases, we have viewed this intervention when US protested the strengthening of cooperation with Iran in any field," the Iranian Ambassador added.

Tehran's envoy to Lebanon further viewed that "when we hear the way US officials in Lebanon or outside talk, we take into account the words of US President Barack Obama, who said recently that "Israel's" security is sacred."
Reflecting that "this speech sums up a lot of things," he confirmed that "all these statements are only in sake of maintaining "Israeli" security and interests."
In a related context, Abadi stated that "his country has always emphasized the need for internal unity in Lebanon in addition to the stability and solidarity between all Lebanese of different sects and affiliations in face of "Israeli" enemy."

"Lebanon is in dire need of unity and cohesion," he stressed expressing belief that "things are moving towards this direction."

Responding to a question about the Iranian situation under sanctions, Abadi answered that "in spite of the new sanctions, the situation in Tehran, is excellent," pointing out that "these sanctions have helped his country to reach self-sufficiency in different fields."
