Lebanon has withdrawn the accreditation of Iran's ambassador
The government in Beirut has banned Hezbollah from taking military action, but is unable to disarm it, as Israel demands. On Tuesday, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry withdrew its approval of the accreditation of Iran's ambassador, accusing him of interfering in the country's internal affairs.
Hezbollah condemned the expulsion of the Iranian diplomat in a statement. He called it a “national and strategic sin” that undermines national sovereignty and unity.
