Iranian ambassador stays in Lebanon as visa nears expiry
The article discusses the developments in the diplomatic crisis between Lebanon and Iran. Despite the Lebanese Foreign Ministry's decision in March to expel him due to Iranian interference in Lebanese affairs, the Iranian ambassador appointed to Lebanon, Muhammad Reza Shibani, remained in the country. Since the deterioration of relations following former President Amin Gemayel's severing of ties with Tehran in 1983, recent efforts have been made to restore official communication between the two sides. These include the Iranian Foreign Minister's call to the Lebanese president and the opening of channels of communication with Lebanese leaders such as Nabih Berri and Hezbollah. Sources indicate that these developments could contribute to the improvement of relations and the resolution of the diplomatic crisis. They emphasize that contact with the Lebanese government has not stopped and point to the beginning of a new chapter concerning regional issues and international understandings.
