Beirut (Eurotoday) – Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told Iran’s national security chief, visiting Beirut, that he did not accept any intervention in the domestic affairs of the country, and he described Tehran’s comments on demilitarizing Hezbollah as “unconstructive”.
The Iranian highest security chief, Ali Larijani, visited Beirut for an official visit on August 13, 2025, to meet with Lebanon’s highest officials, including Joseph Aoun, President; Nawaf Salam, Prime Minister; and Nabih Berri, Speaker of Parliament.
What was the purpose of Ali Larijani’s visit?
The visit has occurred amidst a backdrop of continuing internal tension in Lebanon because of the Lebanese push, with support from the US and Israel, to disarm Hezbollah, which Hezbollah and Iran are resisting.
“We reject any interference in our internal affairs,”
Aoun said, adding that
“it is forbidden for anyone… to bear arms and to use foreign backing as leverage,”
Aoun told Ali Larijani, according to a statement from the Lebanese presidency posted on X.
The Hezbollah crowd and the representatives of the Amal Movement and the Palestinian resistance factions gave him a warm reception. Larijani reiterated Iran’s readiness to help Lebanon in any circumstance, and offered assistance to help ensure Lebanese’s supreme interests and overall development.

Typical Lebanese finesse—who knew rejecting foreign meddling could sound so diplomatic? It’s like telling your in-laws to stay out of your marriage while they’re already setting the dinner table. 😏🍷

Looks like President Aoun’s playing the classic “not in my backyard” card, while Iran keeps bringing the barbecue to the party. Bet they’ll be disarming Hezbollah right after I stop using my old Nokia! 😂

Seems like President Aoun is really laying down the law here—nothing says sovereignty like a polite brush-off to a visiting Iranian official. 🍷 “Thanks for the offer, but no thank you on the foreign backing; we prefer our chaos with a side of homegrown drama, ta!”

Seems like President Aoun is really taking the ‘no foreign meddling’ mantra to heart—next, he’ll be asking the pizza delivery guy not to interfere with his toppings! 🍕🇱🇧

Seems like Aoun’s got his diplomatic knickers in a twist over Iranian “help”—who knew asking for a little personal space would cause such a ruckus? 😂 Guess it’s true what they say: everyone loves a meddling neighbor!

Seems like President Aoun is auditioning for a role in a soap opera with that “no foreign interference” line—don’t we all love a bit of drama? 😂 Just wait for the next episode; I’m sure it’ll be a blockbuster! 🍿
