Iraqiji criticizes Lebanese president
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi rejected Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's statements, in which he claimed that Iran uses Lebanon as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Araqchi considered this to be untrue and stated that Iran has not intervened in Lebanese affairs. He emphasized that a deal with the United States had been possible for some time if Beirut had been using Lebanon as leverage, pointing out that Iran has neither occupied Lebanon nor caused its people to be displaced. Conversely, Aoun called on Iran not to interfere in Lebanese affairs and argued that Hezbollah does not represent the Lebanese people, asserting that the solution can only be reached through negotiations. He stressed that Lebanon is not a pawn in others' deliberations. The statements came alongside increasing tensions between Iran and the United States, amid a series of strikes exchanged between the two sides in recent days.
