Mr. Sha Discusses Shibani's Residence
MP Jamil Sallouh emphasized that granting the Iranian ambassador a courtesy residence in Lebanon is based on exclusive legal authority held by the Director General of General Security, and is not a political decision. He clarified that this authority existed during his tenure as head of General Security from 1998 to 2005, and that previous ambassadors, including American and Egyptian, benefited from this residence after their missions ended—whether temporarily or permanently, such as in cases of retirement or marriage to a Lebanese citizen. Regarding the controversy over the Iranian ambassador’s residence, Sallouh affirmed that the fact he was not officially appointed as ambassador in Lebanon means that he was a legitimate Iranian citizen during his stay, and, according to the law, he had the right to request a temporary or permanent courtesy residence. He pointed out that illegal criticisms are either due to ignorance or unjustified political stances, and he emphasized that the real flaw is failing to ask.
