U.S. intervention undermined Lebanon’s stability
TEHRAN, Jan. 13 (MNA) --Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Ghazanfar Roknabadi, commented on the reasons behind the failure of the international efforts to help Lebanon establish stability.
“U.S. intervention has resulted in the failure of efforts made to bring peace and stability to Lebanon,” Ambassador Roknabadi told on Wednesday.
He made the remarks in response to reports that the Syria-Saudi Arabia initiative meant to help Lebanon establish stability had failed.
Lebanese MP Michel Aoun said on Tuesday that the Saudi-Syrian effort to resolve the controversy over the United Nations tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of Rafiq Hariri had failed.
In the wake of this development, ministers of the March 8 Alliance, representing Hezbollah and its allies, quit the cabinet, toppling the government of U.S.-backed Prime Minister Saad Hariri and again throwing the country into disarray.
Roknabadi said that the U.S. government does not want to see the establishment of peace and stability in Lebanon, so it has tried to obstruct the measures meant to help Lebanon establish stability.
“The Americans and Israelis have always sought to undermine regional peace, and since the time this plan (the Saudi-Syrian initiative) was proposed for Lebanon’s stability, have made efforts to sabotage the plan and apparently have been successful,” he stated.
