Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accepted an invitation from Lebanese counterpart Youssef Raggi to visit Beirut to enhance bilateral relations, though Raggi declined a visit to Tehran, suggesting a neutral location for talks. Araghchi expressed confusion over Raggi’s decision, emphasizing that countries with full diplomatic ties should meet directly, especially amid Israeli occupation. The Lebanese government recently approved a plan to place all weapons, including Hezbollah’s, under state control, which Hezbollah opposes. Raggi advocated for mutual respect for sovereignty and non-interference between Lebanon and Iran.
