    BERRI HEADS TO IRAN AND ARMENIA ON FRIDAY

    Speaker Nabih Berri is scheduled to travel to Iran on Friday and later
    visit Armenia where he will discuss bilateral ties, media reports said.

    On Thursday, Berri urged officials to launch efforts to drill for
    oil and gas in Lebanon's Exclusive Economic Zone, including the
    870-square-kilometer area that Israel says is part of its waters.

    Lebanon warned the United Nations earlier this month that Israel's
    proposed sea border threatens peace and security.

    It said the Israeli claim infringes on Lebanon's EEZ, a sea zone that
    gives a state the right to explore its maritime resources.

    The Israeli cabinet in July approved a map and submitted it to the
    United Nations. The Israeli map conflicts with Lebanon's proposed
    borders, which give the Jewish state less territorial waters and was
    submitted to the U.N. last year.
