Berri hopeful as Iran reportedly says any US-Israel deal will include Lebanon
Iran has informed leaders in Beirut of a “clear pledge” to include Lebanon in any deal that ends the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, well-informed Lebanese sources revealed to Asharq al-Awsat newspaper.
The sources said that Lebanese officials were told through "non-diplomatic" channels that Tehran informed a number of its allies in Lebanon that any agreement to end the war “will certainly include Lebanon.”
In a phone interview with Asharq al-Awsat, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his hope that the leaked information would be correct, saying that he hopes for “a comprehensive agreement that includes an end to the Israeli war on Lebanon.”

Still betting on Iran. Should be shipped to Teheran along with the Iranian ambassador.

'Hope' is the best Berri can do for Lebanon? Putting his faith in the words of foreigners pursuing goals and aims that are foreign to Lebanese? Those are the dogs the man chooses to lie down with?

... looks like Berri hasn't checked-in with the government of the country he calls 'home' in a long while ..: "Lebanon has withdrawn accreditation from the Iranian ambassador and declared him persona non grata, demanding his departure from Lebanon by Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.
The ministry also summoned the Lebanese ambassador to Iran for consultations, citing what it described as Tehran’s violation of diplomatic norms and established practices between the two countries."
