Chepani visa renewal signals Lebanon's message

The article addresses the issue of renewing the residence permit of the unaccredited Iranian ambassador, Mohammad Reza Shibani, in Lebanon, following the expiration of his current permit and his refusal to leave the country. Despite being classified as "persona non grata" by the Lebanese state and his refusal to depart, he applied for a new residence permit. Legal procedures were initiated to grant him a six-month stay without diplomatic status, in order to avoid escalating tensions among Lebanese factions. The article highlights that the Lebanese government's move serves as a political message to prevent upsetting internal balances, but it occurs within a context of marginalizing the expulsion decision and the absence of its actual implementation—an approach that contradicts the stance of the international community. It also sheds light on the challenges facing Lebanese sovereignty and its relationship with Iran amidst increasing international pressures on Tehran.
