Lebanon declares Iranian ambassador persona non grata and demands his departure by Sunday.

Lebanon's Foreign Ministry withdrew accreditation from Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Reza Shibani and declared him persona non grata, giving him until Sunday to leave the country. The ministry also recalled Lebanon's ambassador to Iran for consultations, citing Tehran's violation of diplomatic norms and interference in Lebanon's internal affairs. The decision comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
