(FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani lambasted the Zionist regime and certain Arab states' financial and political supports for the terrorist groups in the region.

"At present, certain terrorist streams are being fed by the resources of the Zionist regime and certain regional Arab countries," Larijani told reporters in Beirut on Monday.

He warned that certain states are making a tactical use of terrorism and ignite a fire which cannot be extinguished easily, adding that during his visit to Beirut he would hold talks with the Lebanese officials on ways to fight terrorism.

Larijani underlined that the developments in the region, specially in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, are specially complicated.

He said that during his visit to Beirut, the bilateral relations between Iran and Lebanon would also be discussed.

Larijani arrived in Syria on Sunday on the first leg of a three-day-long tri-nation tour to confer on the latest developments in the region, and discuss ways to promote cooperation with Damascus.

In Damascus, Larijani met Syrian President Bashar Assad, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Jihad al-Lahm, Prime Minister Wael Al-Halqi, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem and the leaders of the Palestinian resistance groups residing in Syria.

The Iranian top legislator will leave Beirut for Baghdad after meeting his Lebanese counterpart Nabih Berri, Prime Minister Tammam Salam and leaders of the Lebanese resistance groups on Monday.
