๐ฒ - ๐ฑ๐ง๐ฎ๐ท Lebanonโs Foreign Ministry says Beirut did not file a formal UN complaint against Iran, but submitted official replies to letters Tehran had sent to the Security Council.
The Lebanese response centers on the Ramada hotel incident in Beirut, where Iranian nationals killed in an Israeli strike were presented by Tehran as diplomats. Beirutโs reply disputes parts of that narrative, saying Iranโs embassy did not coordinate their movement to the hotel with Lebanonโs Foreign Ministry, and questioning whether all of those killed were officially registered as diplomats.
Lebanon is effectively pushing back against the idea that Iranian personnel operating in Beirut can be treated as protected diplomats if they were not properly registered, while also raising concerns over IRGC-linked activity and violations of the Vienna Convention inside Lebanon.
