Diplomatic Tensions Rise: Lebanon Rebukes Iran's Envoy Over Hezbollah Disarmament Remarks


Lebanon's foreign ministry has summoned Iran's ambassador to Beirut, Mojtaba Amani, following controversial remarks regarding Hezbollah's disarmament. Amani referred to the disarmament efforts as a "conspiracy," sparking diplomatic friction between the two nations.
