MP Hussein Al-Haj Hassan said in an interview with Al-Jadeed TV: “We did not ask for the Lebanese file to be delegated to Iran, and we do not want the Islamic Republic to negotiate on our behalf, so let Lebanon negotiate on its own behalf, but the problem is only in the “direct” way. Hajj Hassan added: “Iran wants Lebanon to benefit from the ceasefire, but it does not and will not negotiate about it.” He stressed that "our work continues in the government and everyone is concerned with controlling the street."
