Hezbollah demands Lebanon ‘immediately reverse’ expulsion of Iran ambassador

Hezbollah calls the decision by Lebanon’s foreign ministry to expel the newly appointed Iranian ambassador a “sin,” and demands authorities “immediately reverse” the move.

“Hezbollah calls on the president of the republic and the prime minister to demand that the minister of Foreign Affairs… immediately reverse this decision because of its dangerous repercussions,” the Iran-backed group says in a statement, calling the move a “national and strategic sin.”

The foreign ministry had earlier given the Iranian diplomat until Sunday to leave the country.
