Lebanon Rejects Iranian Threat to Attack Israel from Its Territory
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander Morteza Qorbani's recent threat to attack Israel from Lebanese territory sparked outrage in Beirut. Defense Minister Elias Bou Saab said: "These statements are unfortunate and unacceptable. They are a violation of the sovereignty of Lebanon." Information Minister Jamal al-Jarrah said Qorbani's remarks are "irresponsible" and "arrogant." "Iran may defend itself in any way it likes, but Lebanon is not the Guards' mailbox or an arena for foreign actors."
