Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi called on Iran to stop interfering in Lebanon and to end its military and financial support for Hezbollah, Ici Beyrouth, i24NEWS and Israel Hayom reported.
Raggi has repeatedly said Beirut will only engage with Tehran if it stops funding what he has called an illegal armed group. "Iran is arming an armed group, whereas the United States is equipping the Lebanese Army," he said in earlier remarks.
His statement comes days after security forces seized a truckload of explosives that Hezbollah admits is its own.
