Iran, Libya discuss Tripoli developmentsTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -  Dehghani is in Tunisia for the funeral ceremony of the late President Beji Caid Essebsi.

The two sides discussed the latest Libyan developments.

Libya has been the scene of increasing violence since 2011, when former dictator Muammar Gaddafi was toppled from power after an uprising and a NATO military intervention.

His ouster created a huge power vacuum, leading to chaos and the emergence of numerous militant outfits, including the Daesh terrorist group.

The country has been divided between two rival governments, the House of Representatives based in the eastern city of Tobruk and the GNA in Tripoli.
