For the First Time, Lebanon Files a Complaint Against Iran at UNSC

For the first time, the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has submitted an official complaint to the United Nations against #Iran, accusing it of violating the Vienna Convention, interfering in Lebanon’s sovereign decision-making, and dragging the country into a devastating war against the will of the Lebanese state.

According to the complaint, #Lebanon denied the accuracy of certain Iranian accounts regarding the assassination of Iranian diplomats in Beirut, stressing that the Iranian embassy did not coordinate with the Lebanese Foreign Ministry over their transfer to the “Ramada” Hotel. It also noted that some of those killed were not officially registered as diplomats.

The complaint further accused Iranian agencies, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), of taking steps that contributed to involving Lebanon in the recent war, resulting in deaths, destruction, displacement, and the occupation of parts of #Lebanese territory.
