Beirut: Top Lebanese Druze politician Walid Junblatt on Friday condemned Iranian “dictates”, an apparent response to a statement by the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards this week that disarming of the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah was out of the question.
“We reject this Iranian diktat from Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Revolutionary Guards,” Junblatt said.
He appeared to be referring to Jafari’s comment that disarming the Iran-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah was out of the question.
“The Lebanese have enough experience and knowledge to deal with their affairs through dialogue. We do not want dictates from across the borders that go against their interests,” Junblatt said.
