FPM Comments on Top Iranian General's Remarks
The Free Patriotic Movement on Sunday stressed that any support for Lebanon should not be “conditional on giving up national sovereignty,” in an apparent response to remarks by a top Iranian general.
In a statement issued by its media committee, the FPM emphasized “the right of the Lebanese to defend their sovereignty, land and resources in the face of any aggression, be it by Israel or other parties.”
“The Lebanese are concerned with preserving Lebanon’s freedom, decision, sovereignty and independence, and the resistance that the Lebanese practice in defense of their land should always serve these goals exclusively,” the FPM said.
“Any support that they receive should not be conditional on giving up national sovereignty or getting entangled in things that do not concern them,” the FPM added.
Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, the chief of the Aerospace Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran, had told Hizbullah’s al-Manar TV on Saturday that “all the missile capabilities that Gaza and Lebanon possess were achieved through Iran’s support.”
“They are the frontline for the confrontation” against Israel, he added.

Will the aouni foreign minister summon the iranian ambassador to Lebanon and object to his country's statements? I guess not...

Whilst the Iranians are talking out very loudly that what was once Lebanon is now the Western Province of Iran, the Lebanese themselves seem to be doing nothing about it but talk. After proclamations like this the Lebanese should really be making sure that they are going to fight fiercely to keep their independence.

Why are we all surprised about the Iranian general statement meanwhile we all know deep down and truthful that Iran is the de facto power in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Hamas Palestine, and Lebanon. Are we really surprised that Hezbollah and nasrallah takes orders from anyone except Iran? The fact of the matter is that nasrallah sees more Iranians than Lebanese officials confirm that fact for many years.
Aounist have no other friend except Hezbollah and they can't, won't and unable to make them unhappy.
Yeah, and nassrallah really cares about what you say. If there was not huge public uproar about the iranian statements the FPM would have remained silent.
