The Lebanese Foreign Ministry stressed the need to abide by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, mainly in terms of guaranteeing the necessary protection for the diplomatic missions and their staff, noting that the attack that targeted the US Embassy in Baghdad is not considered as respecting said international agreement.
The ministry said in a statement that it denounced any attack targeting the Iraqi sovereignty by the US forces by bombing Iraqi territories.
The Foreign Ministry hoped that calm and peace will be restored as soon as possible in Iraq, emphasizing the need to respect the country’s sovereignty and the norms of diplomatic relations between countries.
