Iran FM urges Lebanon president to save country from ‘real foe’

TEHRAN, JUN 6: 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.

Araghchi’s comments come after Aoun delivered one of his sharpest rebukes of Hezbollah, Iran and the IRGC on Friday, telling Tehran, “It’s not your country, it’s our country.

“It’s not your job to interfere in our country.”
