Anti-Iran Proteste in Beirut

Ein Jahr nach der verheerenden Explosion in Beirut:

Protesters marching on the anniversary of the Beirut port blast on Wednesday demanded an end to Iranian influence in Lebanon.

Demonstrators headed towards the capital’s Martyr’s Square at around 7 p.m. local time waving Lebanese flags and chanting “Iran out, Iran out,” according to BBC Persia.

Anti-Iran and anti-Hezbollah slogans could be heard from the crowds on the anniversary of the deadly blast that killed more than 200 people and left thousands more injured.

Meanwhile, security forces fired tear gas at anti-government protesters demonstrating outside the Lebanese parliament building.
