The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants issued the following statement:
The recent remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, in which he addressed internal Lebanese affairs that are in no way the concern of the Islamic Republic, are firmly rejected and condemned. Such statements undermine Lebanon’s sovereignty, unity, and stability, and constitute an unacceptable interference in its internal matters and sovereign decisions.
Relations between states must be based on mutual respect, equality, non-interference in domestic affairs, and full adherence to the decisions of legitimate constitutional institutions. It is completely unacceptable for these relations to be used to promote or support domestic actors outside the framework of the Lebanese state and its legitimate institutions or at the expense of the state itself.
