Iran has been a part of the May 16 talks between President Bush and Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah.

The two leaders both condemned the recent violence in Lebanon, where Hezbollah overran Beirut neighborhoods last week.

The president's national security adviser says the leaders share concerns that recent events would "embolden Iran."

Stephen Hadley says that Iran, "working directly and through Syria, was very much behind what happened in Lebanon."

On May 15, Lebanon's Hezbollah-led opposition and U.S.-backed government reached a deal to end the violence after its Cabinet reversed measures aimed at reining in the militants.
