Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, issued a rare public criticism of Iran, accusing it of interfering in the country's internal matters.
The rebuke came after comments from a senior Iranian official suggested Tehran was willing to help negotiate the implementation of a U.N. resolution concerning Hezbollah and Lebanon. Mikati called for the Iranian envoy to be summoned, signaling Lebanon's frustration with what it views as external meddling in its sovereignty.
This marks a significant diplomatic moment, as Lebanon typically maintains a more neutral stance regarding Iran's influence in the region.
