Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri told visitors on Sunday that that an Iranian nuclear deal could help pave the way to ending major conflicts in the Middle East, and the presidential vacuum in Lebanon.

“I expect the first fruits to be a relief to the Yemen crisis as a regional priority concern by the countries signing the Iranian nuclear agreement,” Berri was quoted as saying by visitors on Sunday.

“The Iran nuclear deal would also help resolve regional crises because there is no end to the ongoing wars without political solutions,” Berri added

The speaker also believed the nuclear deal to have a positive impact on Lebanon, allowing internal and external sides to work to resolve the presidential election crisis.

The Lebanese parliament failed on June 24th and for the 25th time in a row to elect a president to replace Michel Suleiman whose term ended on May 25.

As in the past sessions the parliament was unable to reach a quorum because the Iranian backed Hezbollah militant group and its ally MP Michel Aoun’s Change and Reform bloc MPs boycotted the sessions.

Berri who is allied with Hezbollah and Aoun postponed the election to July 15 , 2015 .
