Political leader Samir Geagea has pressed the Lebanese government to take concrete action on its stated positions, should Iran persist with its current approach to the country's affairs.

Geagea outlined a series of measures that require immediate implementation, beginning with the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador from Lebanese territory. The diplomat had previously been declared persona non grata by Lebanese authorities.

Beyond the diplomatic step, Geagea emphasized the necessity of enforcing government decisions regarding the monopoly on weapons and the assertion of state authority throughout the nation. These issues remain central to debates over Lebanon's sovereignty and the role of non-state actors in the country.

The remarks underscore ongoing tensions between Lebanon and Iran, as well as internal disagreements over how to address foreign influence in the country's governance and security matters.
