Rajji summons Iran envoy after govt. slams joint Guards-Hezbollah operation

Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji on Thursday summoned the Iranian charge d'affaires in Lebanon, after the Lebanese government decided to protest a declaration by Iran's Revolutionary Guard about a joint operation with Hezbollah against Israel.

A statement said Rajji tasked the Ministry's secretary-general, Abdel Sattar Issa, to meet with the envoy on Friday morning to inform him of "the Lebanese stance that rejects any Iranian interference in the country's internal affairs."
