Lebanon PM rejects Iranian interference in Lebanese matters after Tehran offers to negotiate on UN Resolution 1701

Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati says that he rejects Iranian interference in a Lebanese matter after Iran’s parliament speaker said his country was ready to negotiate with France on UN Resolution 1701.

The resolution, adopted in 2006, following the end of the Second Lebanon War, calls for the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group to retreat north of the Litani River, and for the border area of southern Lebanon to be free of weapons or troops other than those of the Lebanese state.
