Lebanon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants deposited an official letter addressed to the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, containing a formal complaint filed by Lebanon against Iran.
In an unprecedented diplomatic move, Lebanon submitted an official complaint to the United Nations accusing Tehran of violating the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, interfering in Lebanon’s sovereign decision-making, and dragging the country into a devastating war against the will of the state.
The complaint, which has become an official document in the Security Council and the General Assembly, challenges the Iranian narrative regarding the killing of Iranian diplomats in Beirut, and denies that the Iranian embassy coordinated with Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry regarding their transfer to the “Ramada” hotel. It also states that some of the deceased were not officially registered as diplomats, in violation of the Vienna Convention.
According to the complaint submitted by Lebanon’s ambassador to the UN, Ahmad Arafa, it asserts Lebanon’s right to hold Iran internationally responsible for repeated breaches of its obligations and for actions that contradict international norms, including dragging Lebanon into a destructive war that resulted in thousands of casualties, mass displacement, and severe destruction, as well as territorial losses.
The complaint also alleges involvement by Iranian security bodies, including the Revolutionary Guard, in unlawful actions that led to widespread destruction and regional instability.
The document further claims Iran failed to comply with Lebanese decisions regarding its ambassador in Beirut and accuses it of continued interference in Lebanon’s internal affairs.
The complaint is now registered as an official UN document under the reference S/2026/343.
