Lebanon rejects foreign interference, president tells Iran official

Подробнее о видео

Lebanon’s president has told a senior Iranian official that Beirut rejects any interference in its internal affairs and has criticised Tehran’s statements on plans to disarm Hezbollah as “unconstructive”.
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Ali Larijani’s visit to Beirut on Wednesday comes a week after the Lebanese government ordered the army to devise plans by the end of 2025 to disarm the Iran-aligned Lebanese armed group.
Iran expressed opposition to the plan to disarm Hezbollah, which before a war with Israel last year was believed to be better armed than the Lebanese military.

Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Beirut.
Lorenzo Trombetta is a Senior Middle East Analyst for the Italian News Agency, who has been covering Lebanon for the past 20 years. He explains what Iran could be trying to achieve through this visit.
