Shock Resignation of Lebanon Prime Minister and the Role of Iran RegimeTerrorism 06 November 2017 Iran Focus London, 6 Nov - The Iranian Regime has claimed that Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation is part of a plot to "create tension in Lebanon and the entire region", shortly after being blamed for his decision to resign. During his unexpected resignation speech , made during a visit to Saudi Arabia on Saturday, the Sunni politician blamed the Iranian Regime’s meddling in Lebanon, specifically through its proxy terror group Hezbollah, for his decision. Hariri, who had been in office for less than a year, stated that the Iranian Regime is responsible for "disorder and destruction" in Lebanon and across the Middle East. This is showcased not only in their meddling in Lebanon, but also their propping up of the Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad, their using of Iraq as a puppet state, and their support of terrorist cells like Hezbollah and al Qaeda .
