Lebanese President Joseph Aoun accused Iran of using Lebanon as a bargaining chip in its confrontation with the United States and Israel. At the same time, Tehran rejected these allegations through its foreign minister, who said that if Lebanon really were a bargaining chip in Iran's hands, an agreement would have been reached a long time ago.
In an interview with the US network CNN, Aoun addressed Iran's Revolutionary Guard, saying: "It is not your country, it is our country".
