Lebanese position on Iranian ambassador case: Shibani stays in Beirut
The Lebanese settlement regarding the case of Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Reza Shibani's residence in Beirut involved granting him a six-month stay without diplomatic status, after the Lebanese Foreign Ministry had considered him an undesirable person and requested his departure. The security authorities approved the residence on legal grounds, with the condition that he is not permitted to engage in any diplomatic activities. The aim of this settlement is to avoid escalating tensions with Iran by maintaining a limited legal status for him. This agreement came after political mediations by the General Security leadership, without re-recognizing his ambassadorial status, and it is believed that Iran intends to potentially utilize his position for political purposes in the future. Meanwhile, the Lebanese government remains committed to its sovereignty by continuing to classify Shibani as an unwelcome person.
