Lebanese Foreign Affairs Minister Gebran Bassil also said that the nuclear agreement brings "positive hopes for a bright future in our region despite Israel's intransigence and its continuous military buildup."
Algeria on Tuesday said the reached agreement between Iran and the world powers on Iran's nuclear program is a "victory of diplomacy and dialogue.
