Last week, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry declared the Iranian ambassador a "persona non grata" and set a deadline for his expulsion from Lebanon. That deadline expired yesterday, March 29th. This morning, the Iranian ambassador is sipping his coffee in Beirut, mocking the host "country". Hezbollah ministers also continue to serve in the Lebanese government. Lebanon is a virtual state that is, in practice, occupied by Iran. It is a visible occupation that hardly anyone speaks about. 5,000 missiles, rockets, and drones have been fired at Israel from Lebanese territory since March 2nd, when Hezbollah launched its attack in violation of the November 2024 ceasefire. A large portion of them were fired at Israel from south of the Litani River - an area that the Lebanese army declared in early January to be under its "operational control". Lebanon will not regain its freedom until a decision is made in Beirut to confront the Iranian occupation and its proxy - Hezbollah.
