Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has responded to remarks by Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, who accused Iran of using Lebanon as a “bargaining chip” in negotiations with the United States aimed at ending the war.
In a post on X, Araghchi rejected the accusation, writing: “Based on Mr Aoun’s comments, one would think it’s Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.”
“Save Lebanon from the real foe, Mr President,” he added.
