Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji said Iran’s ambassador-designate Mohammad Reza Rauf Sheibani must leave the country because his continued presence would violate a sovereign Lebanese decision, according to An-Nahar.
Rajji said that once a diplomat is declared persona non grata, any previously issued visa, entry permit or residency authorization no longer provides a legal basis for remaining in the country.
He added that any discussion of renewing Sheibani’s visa was legally invalid and that the decision requiring his departure was final and enforceable.
Sheibani’s visa is due to expire on August 24.
