Report: KSA says Iran not allowed to win in Lebanon
Saudi Arabia has sent clear signals to its allies that “it is prohibited for Tehran to win in Lebanon,” sources informed on the Saudi stance said.
“The Saudi-Iranian agreement includes Yemen in the first degree and Syria in the second degree and its winds are yet to reach Lebanon,” the sources told the Nidaa al-Watan newspaper in remarks published Monday.
“The Lebanese calculations are totally different than the calculations in Yemen, Iraq and Syria,” the sources added.
“In the face of this inflexible Saudi stance, the opposition Sunni bloc and the Democratic Gathering bloc will not be able to endorse any candidate who does not enjoy a Saudi green light and is considered part of the Hezbollah axis,” the sources went on to say.
The sources also said that Washington’s stance “does not allow the election of a president belonging to the Iranian axis.”
