MTV has learned that reports claiming an extension of the residence permit of Mohammad Reza Sheibani, who was appointed by Iran as its ambassador to Lebanon, are entirely inaccurate.
A source told MTV's website that Sheibani was not granted a residence permit at all, and instead entered Lebanon on a six-month visa set to expire on July 24, meaning it has not yet been renewed.
