Go Get 'Em, France

If France can use their role in helping Lebanon recover from the massive explosion that decimated Beirut's water front to eject Iran from the country, that would be great:

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday warned Iran against any interference in Lebanon after the gigantic blast last week that has prompted a political crisis in the country.

In telephone talks with President Hassan Rouhani, Macron emphasised the "necessity for all the powers concerned... to avoid any outside interference and to support the putting in place of a government which can manage the emergency," the Elysee said.

I say good luck with that. The Iranians aren't ready to roll over meekly:

Iran said Friday that Western countries should not take advantage of the massive explosion in Beirut last week that killed and injured thousands of people to dictate their own policies on the tiny Arab country.

The Iranians don't want Hezbollah left out of the foreign aid response.

Let's remind the Lebanese that Iran wants to fight Israel to the last dead Arab.
