Lebanon's Foreign Ministry has summoned the Iranian envoy and declared the Iranian ambassador persona non grata, demanding his departure by Sunday. This action follows accusations of Tehran violating diplomatic norms. Additionally, Lebanon's ambassador to Iran has been summoned for consultations. The decision occurs amid ongoing Israeli air strikes and a ground offensive in southern Lebanon, which have resulted in significant casualties since a Hezbollah attack in March 2024, in response to the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader.
