TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged on Saturday Lebanese president Joseph Aoun, who had criticized Tehran for interfering in his country, to save Lebanon from its “real foe.”
“Based on Mr. Aoun’s comments, one would think it’s Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis... Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President,” Araghchi wrote on X.
His remarks came in response to an interview by the Lebanese President Jospeh Aoun with CNN, during which he demanded that Iran refrains from interfering in Lebanese affairs.
