Yazd (ANTARA/MNA-OANA) - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that the intervention by foreigners only makes issues in Lebanon and Tunisia more complicated.

"Interference of (other) countries in the affairs of Lebanon and Tunisia complicates issues and it is necessary that the nations and leaders of these countries resolve their problems themselves, " Ahmadinejad told a gathering in the south province of Yazd on Wednesday.

He said, "The Lebanese people must be aware that they are passing a significant stage and certain countries are making attempts to undermine their unity."

On Wednesday, 11 ministers quit the Lebanese cabinet over tensions arising from a UN probe into the 2005 assassination of former prime minister Rafiq Hariri, toppling the government of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

Addressing the United States and the Zionist regime, Ahmadinejad stated that the Lebanese nation is able to resolve their own problems.

"If you do not stop your malicious moves, the Lebanese nation and the regional nations will cut off your dirty hands," he added. "Do not make your record darker by undue interference."

Commenting on the latest developments in Tunisia, Ahmadinejad warned the foreigners against interference in the country`s internal affairs.

Following weeks of street protests over unemployment and high prices, Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali fled to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday.

"Others do not have the right to interfere in this regard since the Tunisian nation is intellectually mature and can decide for themselves," he explained.

Cooperation with Iran is in West`s interests

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad said cooperation with Iran is in the best interests of Western countries.

"Today Iran has become a nuclear state, and from the Iranian nation`s viewpoint, the nuclear issue is finished," he stated.

"Cooperate with nuclear Iran because cooperation with benefit you,"Ahmadinejad told the West.

He also said, "We welcome your cooperation based on justice, but be aware that Iran will not step back an inch from its rights."
