Destination: Iran

Free Patriotic Movement leader Gen. Michel Aoun will make an official visit to Tehran on Sunday for meetings with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other senior officials.

During the visit, the first ever by Aoun to Tehran, a ceremony will be held in his honor, the daily As Safir said Friday. It said Aoun is expected to stay “several days” in Tehran. [Naharnet]

It makes sense since FPM's main ally is Hizballah. Further more, elections are around the corner. Those who accused Aoun of being pro-Syrian [no matter what one thinks of the man or FPM that is just stupid] have now the chance to come up with an improved theory. Maybe the Iranians will give him [ I wanted to say, teach the General, but Generals don't really appreciate being taught by others] few tips. After all, they are doing [very] well in international affairs.
