Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammad Reza Sheibani had his visa extended after it expired on Monday, despite the Lebanese government declaring him persona non grata, KAN News reported on Tuesday.

Sheibani refused orders given to him in March to leave the country after the designation, which followed a summons by the Lebanese Foreign Ministry over Iran's violations of diplomatic norms and established practices between the two countries.

“I instructed today the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants to summon the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires in Lebanon to inform him of the decision to withdraw the agrément for the designated Iranian Ambassador, Mohammad Reza Shibani, declare him persona non grata, and request that he leave Lebanese territory no later than 29 March, 2026,” Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi confirmed at the time.
