Iran backs UN Lebanon truce

"Annan said Ahmadinejad had agreed in the talks in Tehran that Iran, which backs the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, would do everything to support the territorial integrity and independence of Lebanon.

'Tehran will work together with us in a collective effort to reconstruct Lebanon,' he said.

State radio quoted Ahmadinejad as saying that Israel and its allies Britain and the US should compensate Lebanon for the 'damages inflicted'."
