Lebanese PM to Iran: Stay out of our affairs

Lebanese Prime Minister Nagib Mikati has rejected Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf's proposal that the two countries jointly negotiate the implementation of UN Resolution 1701, calling such a proposal an "outrageous intervention in Lebanon's internal affairs."

Mikati has said a number of times that Lebanon is willing to fully implement the resolution, which requires that only state-based armed forces be present south of the Litani River, with the use of the Lebanese Army.
