Lebanon president rejects Soleimani’s statement

Share:

Lebanon President Michel Suleiman sent a message to his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday expressing Lebanon’s keenness on the establishment of bilateral ties with a friendly state based on mutual respect and noninterference in internal affairs.

A statement issued by the presidential palace, said Suleiman discussed with Iranian ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi the latest controversial remarks of the commander of Iran’s Quds Force, Brig. Gen. Qasem Soleimani …..who was quoted by Al-Arabiya television as saying last Friday that” Iraq and Hezbollah-dominated South Lebanon “submit” to Tehran’s wishes in one way or another. ”

Roknabadi reiterated to Suleiman the clarifications of the Iranian foreign ministry, the Baabda palace statement said.

In the light of the Iranian foreign ministry’s clarification and refutation of the reported statements, the president asked Abadi to “convey to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Lebanon’s keenness on bilateral relations with brotherly countries on the basis of mutual respect of both countries’ sovereignty.” The statement added

March 14 leaders were outraged by the remarks made by Suleimani. They demanded that Hezbollah clarify Suleimani’s statement.

Al-Mustaqbal movement MP Nohad al-Mashnouq urged Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Sunday to cut off diplomatic ties with Tehran to protest Soleimani’s remarks.

    The president sent him a letter? How about suspending the Ambasador not just summoning him for an explanation…. The sad truth in Lebanon is our president is powerless and HA is in control of the government. We cant revolt like the Syrians did and we cant fight them because 1 most of us normal people are not violent like them, 2 most non HA members are educated and have an open mind and 3 we dont have any weapons. In the area I live in HA has been moving in slowly and have been forcing internet providers and satellite tv providers to close down so they can setup a monopoly on the industry. I recently heard they have been asking electric generator owners to stop giving power to people that do not live in the building the generator is located so they can also have a monopoly on the industry. I personally think its so they can expand the communications network they have under the cover that its electric, internet and satellite wiring. Sadly the only way to get rid of HA is to wait for Iran to fall. I hope they dont take control of the oil sector and use the funds to stay in power basically putting Lebanon in a position were the international community might bomb the crap out of us or start arming the other sides. Maybe the new Syrian army will be used or the Palestinians will be unleashed from the camps…. Either way God Help Lebanon and protect the true Lebanese from HA, Israel and all other enemies local and foreign. The sad thing is that these days I hear it all the time “Israel is better than HA and they treated us better when we were at war with them” the hate that HA manifested for its self in Lebanon is what will destroy it in the end.

      Never mind just reject … they should call Brig. Gen. Qasem Soleimani an ass. But he’s a militaristic Qud, not a politician, so he stupidly blurts out his thoughts. Which is good in a way … at least we can now see what their  Mr. Supreme – and his minions – thinks, since we know who the real ‘leader’ is in that dictatorship.
