Iranian state media reported on Tuesday that the Iranian Ambassador to Beirut, Mojtaba Amani, was injured in an incident involving the explosion of a pager. This incident occurred simultaneously with a series of explosions in several areas considered strongholds of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah in Lebanon, resulting in hundreds of injuries.
Official Iranian television confirmed that Ambassador Amani is well and fully conscious, and his life is not in danger. The television added that the ambassador’s injury is superficial, without providing details on whether the pager belonged to him personally.
This incident comes amid escalating tensions in the region, where the Lebanese-Israeli border has been witnessing an almost daily exchange of fire between Hezbollah and the Israeli army since the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7th.
It’s worth noting that the Lebanese Hezbollah is considered part of what Iran calls the “axis of resistance” against Israel, the archenemy of the Islamic Republic. The party is regarded as a strategic ally of Iran in the region.
Ambassador Amani, 61 years old, is a career diplomat who was appointed as Iran’s ambassador to Beirut in 2022. This incident highlights the tense security situation in Lebanon and the impact of regional conflicts on diplomats working in the area.
It should be noted that Lebanese and Iranian authorities have not yet issued additional details about the circumstances of the incident or the parties responsible for it, raising questions about its potential implications for diplomatic relations in the region.
