Lebanon's president and prime minister criticised Iran on Friday for opposing the latest ceasefire deal between the Lebanese government and Israel, saying their country should not be used by Tehran as a "bargaining chip" in talks with Washington. Despite the truce, Lebanese media reported continued Israeli attacks on the south while Iran-backed Hezbollah said it targeted Israeli troops with drones and rockets.
Lebanon's leaders issued pointed calls for Iran to stop interfering in their country's affairs on Friday, as Israel and the Tehran-backed Hezbollah traded attacks after a new truce deal collapsed before it even began.
