TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi felicitated the Libyan people on their victory over the tyrannical rule of Muammar Qaddafi, and voiced Tehran's preparedness to expand ties with Tripoli.

According to a statement issued by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the two sides also discussed the latest developments in Libya and called for closer ties in all areas.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has dispatched three shipments of humanitarian assistance to Libya.
On August 22, euphoric Libyan revolutionaries seized control of most of Tripoli in a lightning advance, celebrating the victory in Green Square, the symbolic heart of Muammar Qaddafi's regime.
