What is making matters worse is that Israel is also preparing for a permanent occupation of Lebanon. This continued military presence in Lebanon is problematic, said Tehran-based Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi. He told RT that Israel’s occupation of southern Lebanon reflects its broader territorial ambitions and shows that the US is failing to uphold its commitments under the interim peace deal with Iran. Israel has rejected all calls to stop the…
