Ali Larijani, the head of Iran’s National Security Council, traveled to Beirut to meet with Lebanese officials as the government continues its push to disarm Hezbollah. This visit comes amid rising tensions between Lebanon’s leadership and the militant group, which has long been a key strategic asset for Tehran. Larijani’s arrival highlights the complex interplay of regional politics and security concerns.
The Lebanese government’s initiative to curb Hezbollah’s military capabilities has sparked debates about the group’s role in the country’s political landscape. Hezbollah, which maintains a significant military infrastructure, has been a critical ally of Iran in the region. As discussions unfold, the implications for Lebanon’s stability and its relationship with Iran remain uncertain. The meeting between Larijani and Lebanese leaders is expected to address these critical issues.
