Rajji tells Khamenei only legitimate govt. and Lebanese army will remain
Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji has said the only force that remains in Lebanon is the legitimate government after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Hezbollah should not be underestimated, describing it as a "continuing force" with influence well beyond Lebanon.
Khamenei said former Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah "is gone, but the wealth he created remains."
In response, Rajji said the only things that remain in Lebanon are the government's irrevocable decisions particularly the decision to disarm Hezbollah, and the Lebanese army, which is the "sole and first" defender of Lebanon, its people, and its sovereignty.
