Iran denied Monday an accusation from Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati that it was interfering in Beirut's internal affairs over remarks attributed to Tehran's speaker of parliament.

"Iran has never had any intention or (taken any) action that could be suspected of interfering in the internal affairs of Lebanon," said Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei during a weekly news conference.

So, giving arms and other assistance to a terrorist organisation operating on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Lebanon, is not in his eyes "interfering in the internal affairs of Lebanon". I dread to think what then is.
