Visiting Iranian official calls on Lebanese govt. to 'arm everyone'
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told Al-Jadeed TV on Friday that he met with a number of Lebanese officials over the past two days to exchange views and positions, describing the atmosphere of the meetings as good.
He added that a recent meeting in New York with Lebanese officials addressed the issue of the controversy over the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, noting that there are proposals to choose a path acceptable to both parties.
Khatibzadeh also considered that the issue of the ambassador “should not have reached this point.”
As for Hezbollah’s arms, the Iranian official called on the Lebanese government to “arm everyone” instead of “removing weapons in the face of the aggressors.”
He added that any decision regarding Hezbollah's involvement in a potential new Iran-Israel conflict would rest with the group itself, rather than with Tehran.

The joke's on him because most Lebanese ARE armed. Celebratory gunfire is your first hint.

La loi du nombre est une erreur monumentale : l'Iran, les chiites et le hezb le prouvent jour après jour.
40 ans de guerres, le Liban-sud à moitié détruit, les libanais appauvris.
Même le chiite non pro-hezbollah est coincé dans ce clivage et cette pensée incompatible avec un état nation.

l'Iran et le hezb sont le parfait exemple de la configuration loose-loose.
Pardon, c'est ce qu'ils croient ou font croire à leurs ouailles.
Car en fait la vrai configuration est loose (eux et entrainant de force les libanais dans cette loose) - win (les autres).
