Reports: Iran FM may ask allies to consider ditching Franjieh

W460

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who will arrive in Beirut on Wednesday, might ask Tehran’s allies in Lebanon to consider ending their support for Suleiman Franjieh’s presidential nomination, media reports said.

While some believe that Abdollahian will throw his support behind the allies in their backing of Franjieh, others believe that the Iranian FM will ask allies to “start considering the possibility of ending their support for Franjieh if it is facing unworkable obstacles,” political sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper.

Tehran believes that “protecting the renewed relation with Riyadh has the priority,” the sources added.

Not buying this. The Iranians doesn't "ask" their "allies in Lebanon"; they tell, dictate, direct, edict, order, decree, command, instruct, "ask" sounds like their "allies in Lebanon" have a choice.
