Lebanon boots Iranian ambassador

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry announced yesterday that Iran’s ambassador, Mohammed Reza Shibani, must leave no later than Sunday. Lebanon also recalled its ambassador to Iran for consultation. This marks a major change in Lebanese politics. For decades, Iran has largely ruled Lebanon through the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Hezbollah labeled the Foreign Ministry’s decision a “sin.” Soon after the announcement, Iran launched a missile into Lebanese airspace (which was intercepted). Hezbollah’s political entrenchment in Lebanese politics and physical entrenchment in Lebanon’s south are weakening. Successful Israeli campaigns over the past few years, including the current Iran war, have weakened Hezbollah and thereby Iran’s influence. Bible prophecy shows that Iran will lose control of Lebanon and that Lebanon will become part of a new Middle Eastern alliance, one even more dangerous than Iran’s “axis of resistance.” Learn more in “The Fall and Rise of Lebanon.”
