Iran denies Aoun's claims Lebanon isn't a bargaining chip
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi sparked a controversy with the Lebanese presidency after it accused Iran of using Lebanon as a "bargaining chip" in its negotiations with the United States. Araqchi responded by stating that Tehran has not used Lebanon as a tool in its negotiations, affirming that if it had, an agreement with Washington would have been reached years ago, despite ongoing disagreements over regional and international issues. Araqchi's comments come amid escalating tensions between Iran and Lebanon, especially after Lebanese criticisms of Hezbollah's policies and Iran's role in the region. The indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran are continuing, with assurances that diplomatic channels remain open and intertwined with Lebanon’s situation, amid concerns of a potential escalation that could threaten regional stability.
