Iran’s Ambassador Affirms Tehran’s Commitment to Lebanon’s Sovereignty and Independence
In a significant diplomatic gesture, Iran’s ambassador to Beirut reaffirmed the Islamic Republic’s steadfast commitment to Lebanon’s independence, sovereignty, stability, and security. This statement was made during his recent visit to the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants.
According to reports from Thursday, Mojtaba Amani engaged with officials at the Lebanese Ministry to address and clarify any potential misunderstandings stemming from a recent tweet he shared. He emphasized that the tweet’s content was general and applicable to all nations, including Iran.
During this crucial meeting, aimed at preventing any miscommunication between Tehran and Beirut, Amani underscored the importance of:
- Thwarting enemy attempts to create divisions between the two nations.
- Promoting vigilance and cooperation to counteract such efforts.
- Reiterating Iran’s support for Lebanon’s sovereignty and independence.
- Strengthening bilateral collaboration across various sectors.
Amani had previously expressed concerns on his X page regarding disarming regional armies, linking it to an Israeli strategy. Following public reactions to his tweet, he clarified in an interview with Lebanon’s Al-Jadeed TV channel that the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had arranged a meeting with him, characterizing such invitations as natural and routine in diplomatic relations, rather than formal summons.
This meeting reflects the ongoing dialogue between Iran and Lebanon, illustrating the importance both nations place on maintaining strong ties amid regional challenges.
