Lebanon extends stay of Iranian ambassador six months after expulsion order
Lebanon has extended the visa of Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Reza Sheibani for another six months, despite previously declaring him persona non grata and ordering him to leave Beirut, Kan News reported Tuesday.
Sheibani refused to leave Lebanon after the decision about six months ago and remained in the country with Hezbollah’s support. As a compromise, his diplomatic status was revoked, and the new six-month visa allows him to remain in Lebanon as a resident rather than as a diplomat.
