Iran's ambassador won't leave Lebanon despite expulsion
Iran's ambassador will not leave Lebanon despite being declared persona non grata and ordered to leave the country by Sunday, an Iranian diplomatic source told AFP.
"The ambassador will not leave Lebanon, in accordance with the wishes of the speaker of parliament Nabih Berri and of Hezbollah," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Hezbollah has denounced the decision while Berri's Amal Movement joined Hezbollah ministers in boycotting a cabinet session this week in protest at the expulsion order.

Put this fake ambassador of a mass-murderer regime in prison and sue Iran for $110 billions in frozen funds. The damage to Lebanon since murdering Hariri and using Shebaa excuse to invade the country & transform Lebanon into Iranian rocket base is in the hundreds of billions. If it wasn't for Hizbollah Basij mercenaries, Lebanon and Shia should have higher standard of living than Saudis instead of being a beggar state with millions pushed into poverty unable to afford food or medicine while Iran mercenaries spending billions of illegal money on arms and tunnels, systematically destroying our economy, education, health & justice turning Lebanon into Banan Republic with presidency & government full of Useful Idiots who sold Lebanon for 30 pieces of silver. YES WE NEED A NUREMBERG TRIAL FOR ALL COMPLICITS & COLLABORATORS WHO ALLOWED HIZBOLLAH IRANIAN MERCENARIES TO RAPE LEBANON FOR PERSONAL BENEFITS starting with Berri & Aoun, Bassil, Frangieh & SSNP.
